Our Youth Ministry (grades 6-12) exists to help students learn to follow Jesus for a lifetime. We know these are formative years, so our events, mission trips, and weekly gatherings are intentionally worshipful and fun so students can connect with friends and continue growing in their love for Jesus. We strive to graduate students with a strong belief in the Gospel, identity centered in Christ, an active spiritual life and a mission's mindset.

Events & Retreats
We know life is busy, especially for your student. With so many potential options we aim for fewer events with bigger impact. Our Events and Retreats are a critical way to help your student get connected to our Youth Ministry. They’re a way to have fun, connect with other students, bring their friends, learn and grow together. OUR WIN = Extended time with others! Make sure to check back frequently on our Events page and opt-in to our eNews and social media for your next opportunity.
Mission Opportunities
Jesus spent much of His ministry preaching Good News to the homeless, hungry, hurting, and those many people overlook. Join Him in bringing life to people in our surrounding community and across the world. Most Youth mission opportunities take place during the summer months. Make sure to check back frequently on our Events page and Missions page to find your next opportunity.

Interested in Serving?
We believe that everyone is given unique spiritual gifts and abilities to help strengthen the church and deepen our relationship with God. There are many ways to invest relationally and help the youth at Dallas Bible learn to love all and help all follow Jesus. No service is too great or too small as we equip our bothers and sisters in Christ to continue the faith.
Take this Next Step and start serving in our Family Ministries!
Family Sundays
Dallas Bible Church is taking up an initiative to more fully include our children and youth on Sundays in the rhythms of our faith community: to worship, grow, serve, and go. Each 5th Sunday in a month is a Family Sunday Service, along with other special services throughout the year. Family Sundays will be an opportunity for all of us to come together throughout the year as a community of believers, obeying our biblical mandate to meet as a church Body.
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together… but encouraging one another. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)
Our goal for Family Sundays is to empower the children and youth of Dallas Bible Church to be active members of our church, raised up to be spiritual leaders through the encouragement of our entire church family. We will strive for inclusivity in all areas of our rhythms.
Parents, we encourage you to have your student to join you on these Sundays in your Sunday Morning Group, in the main worship service, or with any volunteer position scheduled for that day. Dallas Bible Church will also be providing opportunities on some Family Sundays for us to go into our community to spread the Gospel. Please use these Sundays to give your student a chance to actively participate in each of these areas, not just passively observe.
While parents have been entrusted by God to raise and care for their children’s daily needs, we as a Church have also been entrusted to come alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ to teach and equip all the children of our church to be mature followers of Jesus. We best model our faith to the youngest members of Dallas Bible Church through our examples of heart-felt worship, actively seeking to grow in faith, self-sacrificing service, and obedience to go. Inviting our children and youth to a shared experience on Family Sundays, in conjunction with our everyday experiences, invites “our children to a purpose greater than ourselves” (Sharon Hodde Miller).
WORSHIP: the rhythm that calls our gathering to surrender
Bring your youth to worship with you on Family Sundays. Students can engage in songs of worship, meet and greet fellow worshipers, and follow along with the sermon. Families can gather as a spiritual unit. Our church community can welcome all of our members gathered together.
Assemble the people—men, women and children, …so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 31:12-13 (NIV).
GROW: the rhythm that calls us to maturity
Sunday Classe leaders will accommodate children and youth on Family Sundays. As a church family, we can instruct and lift up each other, making disciples of even our youngest members.
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Hebrews 10:24 (NIV)
SERVE: the rhythm that calls us to build Christ’s body
Empowering our children and youth to serve in the church, whether as a front-line greeter or behind the scenes playing with toddlers, blesses them with an opportunity to feel they are a vital part of our church. Adult members can recognize and support their efforts.
Serve areas that kids can actively serve in include: parking, ushering, greeting, the café, media, Welcome Desk, and Family Ministry. Visit the Welcome Desk for information on these and other service opportunities on Family Sundays.
From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Ephesians 4:16 (NIV)
GO: the rhythm that calls us to action
Including our children and youth in outreach within our local community, so as to model obedience to the call of scripture to put our faith into action.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
The staff of Dallas Bible Church is eager to launch Family Sundays and witness the power of the Holy Spirit move, transforming our church, as we embrace the call to raise up our children and youth as spiritual leaders and stewards of our faith. We pray that you are, too.
