Children's Ministry

The Children’s Ministry of Shelbyville Mills Baptist Church exists to glorify God by teaching children the Word of God, evangelizing them, and encouraging and equipping parents to bring up their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. We seek to accomplish our mission through:

  • Sunday morning Small Group Classes for each school grade and every age of preschool
  • Wednesday night “Faith Fighters” (Fighter Verses)
  • Vacation Bible School (Answers VBS)
  • Summer Activities (Calendar)

Youth

Staffed by our youth director and fully equipped leadership team, our ministry is dedicated to helping students in grades 7-12 grow in the likeness of Christ. We accomplish this with a variety of activities, such as:

  • Sunday Small Groups for each school grade
  • Wednesday Night Youth Worship Services that involve food, activities, and Bible study in their own Youth Fellowship Room
  • Youth Camp each summer
  • Mission opportunities both with the church-at-large and specifically for youth
  • Many other youth activities throughout the year

College & Career

The goal of the College & Career ministry at Shelbyville Mills Baptist Church is to develop within each student a personal faith in Jesus Christ and a deeper love for God and His Word, by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is vital that as a student begins college or their own career, they deepen their knowledge of God’s Word, their conviction of who Jesus Christ is (John 14:6), and to know the rich doctrines of God’s Grace. Jesus Christ is the Great I Am, the living Word, and God’s only Son (John 1). As their personal faith grows, we will make disciples of Jesus Christ while dealing with the issues of college and career. There are many activities throughout the year to encourage discipleship, fellowship, and personal growth:

  • Discipleship: Sunday Morning Small Group Bible Study
  • Ministry: How can we pray, serve, and love one another
  • Discipleship: Wednesday Night Bible Study
  • Battlefields (struggles and gray areas): Discussion and Questions
  • Counsel on quiet times and personal growth
  • Counsel on finding a Biblical husband or wife
  • Counsel on stewardship, debt and budgeting/finance
  • Counsel on Apologetics (how to defend your faith)
  • Evangelism Training (how to share the Gospel)

 

Small Groups

The Church is organized into Small Groups to evangelize the lost, equip the saved, and provide fellowship to meet individual needs. Our Small Groups meet every Sunday Morning at 9:00am.

Classes are offered for preschool, children, youth, college and career, women, and men.
