Student Ministries
Student Ministries Mission
The Alaska Baptist Church student ministry exists to partner with parents to help teens grow in the Lord, glorify God, and share the good news of Jesus Christ with others in their community as well as the world!
This is accomplished through regular teaching and preaching, small groups, one-on-one discipleship, youth activities, mission trips, and serving roles within the church and the community.

Fri, Feb. 21 - Sun, Feb. 23- Lincoln Lake Winter Retreat
The date is set for this year's winter Snowman retreat at Lincoln Lake Baptist Youth Camp. Campground As the teens know, winter retreats are always fun and spiritually enriching- and they're also great for strengthening relationships among the group. The cost is only $50/student ..as the church's youth ministry covers the other half of the retreat registration expense.
Student Meetings
Students have various meetings where they are able to fellowship and grow closer to Christ. Sunday school (Sundays 11am-11:50am) and Youth group meetings (Sundays 5pm-7pm) are developed to allow each student to mature in Christ. There's a lot of laughter, games, and fun along the way and each activity encourages fellowship and friendship while equipping each student with a comprehensive knowledge of God's Word.
