All Junior and Senior High students are welcome!
We would love to have you come and check out what we offer teens! Our Youth Ministry exists to reach students for Jesus Christ and to connect them through meaningful relationships. Here you can find accountability through your peers as well as caring adults that want to help you learn about God, His Word, and the difference it can make in your life. We seek to grow students who honor God with their lives and serve others out of a passion for Him!
Sunday School
Sunday mornings at 9:15, our Jr. & Sr. High students meet in the Youth Center for assembly prior to their Sunday School Classes. At 10:30, join the other teens in the worship center for the morning service.
Souled Out
Wednesdays from 7:00 – 8:00
Our Jr. and Sr. High students meet in the Youth Center every Wednesday for a midweek youth service – Souled Out! Formats differ each week, but we always offer students a chance to study, grow, and worship together.

Bowl-A-Thon
We’ve enjoyed an all-nighter at Southgate Bowling Center every year for our 6th – 12th graders! This is a fun time of fellowship that includes a gospel presentation, plenty of chaperones, and fun challenges & chances to win prizes throughout the night! Our February 2026 Bowlathon will take place from February 6th-February 7th! More details Here
Youth Camp
We have seen so many teens make pivotal decisions over the years at camp. At FBT, we believe that youth camp is the most important week in the life of a teenager. We spend a week at River Oaks Retreat Center, filling our time there with games, competitions, and fun memories, as well as devotions & nightly sermons for spiritual growth. Keep an eye on our Events page for this year’s Youth Camp registration – dates for our 2026 Youth Camp are July 13th – 17th!

Middle School Discipleship
Our Middle School Discipleship is the heart of our program to develop your teens! We use this time to go through booklets together & in our own time that draw hearts closer to God and the truths of His Word. With faithful attendance, they can earn an overnight trip to see the Atlanta Braves play!
Middle School Discipleship has concluded and will revamp next year. Contact [email protected] for more info.
Modest Clothing
Since there is so much difference of opinion about what is considered modest, we wanted to list our expectations. This list is designed for camp, but should be the minimum standard for all youth activities.
• Fingertip length shorts (this includes athletic type skirts)
• No low-cut shirts
• No strapless tops, unless worn under a sweater
• One-piece swimsuits (at camp)
• Boys must wear a shirt to and from the pool & pond (at camp)
• No crop tops (stomach is to be covered)
• No cut off shirts
• No shirts with more than a 3 inch gap under the arm
• No vulgar logos or wording on clothing
Students may be asked to change if not complying with the above expectations. Let’s all work together to keep our focus in the proper place!
