The Teens

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6


The Bible says that children are a blessing from the Lord and it is the responsibility of parents to raise their children for the Lord and use every opportunity  (Deuteronomy  6) to teach them the ways of the Lord.
Let us help you do just that!

So what is the Youth Ministry at Good News like?

The teen years can be confusing, difficult, and challenging! But they can also be awesome! Through Sunday and Wednesday classes, community outreaches, monthly activities, annual trips, retreats, and programs, the teens at Good News are challenged and equipped to live for Christ while they are in their youth. Each year, the teens can look forward to camps, trips, outreach events, fun activities, and many opportunities to grow in God’s Word. We do everything within our power to provide the Bible-based wisdom that teens need, combined with the friendly atmosphere that teens enjoy!


Real Answers

In a world of lies – what’s really true? From the Bible, you can get answers for every question and problem in life, and you can find out that God really is on your side! He wants to help you every day and wants you to know Him personally.

You will learn:

• What is my purpose in life?

• Is some entertainment harmful?

• What is a family?

• Can a marriage really be happy?

• What is true maturity?

• How can I develop character?

• Is the Bible really God’s Word?

• Is Jesus really God’s Son?

• What happens after death?

• What is real love?

• Why was I created?


Real Friends

Everyone wants good friends – the kind of friends who will be there for you when you really need them. Our Youth Ministry is made up of about 40 teens from most of the high schools and middle schools in the Richmond/Chesterfield/Midlothian area. The common bond is that we all want to know God personally and live out His purposes in our lives. If you’re tired of pretending to be someone so that other people will accept you… quit playing the game. Quit risking your future for someone else’s approval. You will find real friendships and support at the Good News Youth Ministry.


Real Fun

Some people think Christians can’t have fun! The fact is, we have more fun than anyone else!! The difference is, this is the kind of fun that won’t get you drunk, high, pregnant, infected, or arrested. It’s the kind of fun you can have with a clear conscience – the kind that creates good memories, hilarious moments, and awesome friendships.
