The student ministry of DFBC is a Scripture-saturated student ministry dedicated to glorifying God’s name in everything we do. All of our events are centered around the Word of God. While we certainly enjoy having fun together, we know that our primary purpose is to make much of Christ. As a gospel-centered youth ministry, we strive to infuse the good news of the gospel into every aspect of our activities.

We also understand the biblical role of parents being the primary disciplers of their children as they seek to disciple their children at home. We are committed to walking alongside parents, encouraging and training them to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).

Youth classes for grades 5th - 8th and 9th - 12th meet each Sunday at 9:45 am in the Life Center. It’s more than showing up on Sunday. It’s more than knowing the right answers. Discipleship is about becoming more like Jesus, both individually and in community. Bible Studies for Life: Students is designed to help students relate to God’s Word and connect with each other, no matter where they are on their spiritual journeys. Sunday School is a time for students to gather in age specific group to discuss the Scripture under the direction of one of our dedicated Sunday School teachers.

Sunday Nights 6:00 pm for grades 5th and up meet for Creative Kids 4 Christ - Ministry emphasis is on learning about Southern Baptist Mission work and exploring ways to spread the Gospel; we will also participate in some service projects.

Our MidWeek gathering takes place every Wednesday at 6:30 in the Truthseekers classroom at the end of the hall of the main church facility.  Our MidWeek consists of fellowship, prayer, a weekly missions emphasis, and an exegetical teaching series.

We encourage all 7th-12th graders to join us for our weekly events

Students can also get involved in the life of our church by joining the youth choir and hand chime choir under the direction of our Minister of Music, Dr. Robert Nanney and his wife Jeanie.
