The Youth Ministry of LHBCB exists to bring God glory by ministering to the Youth of Bryan/College Station. We do this through one-on-one discipleship, Summer Camp, Leadership Camp, and by inviting youth into our lives with the purpose of “doing life” with them, and encouraging them to walk closer with Christ. Now more than ever in the history of this nation we have a large number of youth leaving the Church in droves to follow the world and it’s ways. We stand as a light in a dark place showing these kids that there is a better way offered to us in living our lives fully surrendered to Christ.

Expectations for Youth (6th – 12th grades)
- You are expected to be able to sit through a Saturday/Sunday/Wednesday service while taking notes and paying attention.

How to get involved
First we would ask that you spend some time in prayer and fasting to seek the Lord as to whether or not He is leading you to serve in youth ministry. After you have done this and have gotten confirmation from Christ that this is the place where you are to serve then you can e-mail Carlos Carpio at Youth@lhbcb.org or send him a message on the City.
