Teen Ministry
Welcome to our Student Ministry!
Velocity Teens is our student ministry at West Jacksonville Baptist church, created for teens to grow in their faith, connect with others, and make a difference. This group offers a space where teens can explore their relationship with God through engaging Bible studies, build strong friendships, and serve both the church and community. Activities include fun events like game nights and lock-ins, as well as meaningful opportunities like ministering at nursing homes, leading neighborhood Bible clubs, and learning to serve in roles in the church. Velocity Teens is all about helping our young adults discover their purpose while having a great time and impacting lives.
Sunday School
(Sundays, 9:30am)
Each Sunday, our teens are provided with a solid foundation in biblical truth. Through guided discussions, relevant Bible studies, and fun activities, teens are challenged to grow spiritually, build lasting friendships, and deepen their walk with the Lord.
Power Hour
(Sundays, 4:45pm)
This less formal time of fellowship on Sunday afternoons is centered around equipping our teens to stand firm in their faith. During this time, they can expect a short Bible lesson, a time of prayer, and an opportunity to sharpen their ability to uphold the truth of Scripture with confidence through lively debates.
Testify Choir
(Practices after Sunday evening services)
Our teen choir is focused on practicing and preparing uplifting songs that glorify the Lord. They are given the opportunity to minister through song at various services throughout the year.
Teen Camp
(Dates for camp week vary during summer)
Each summer, our teenagers (roughly 7th-12th grade) travel to Teen Extreme summer camp at Pensacola Christian College. Upon arrival, they dive into a week of high-energy fun—like rock climbing, ice skating, bowling, and more! Students are brought morning and evening challenges from the Word of God by guest speakers who desire to see them grow deeper in their faith.
