CHILDREN & YOUTH MINISTRY
AT HBN
At HBN, we believe that the future of the Church and society is shaped in the hearts of children and young people. Our ministry is committed to nurturing the next generation in the knowledge, love, and ways of God.
The Scriptures remind us in Deuteronomy 6:6–7:
“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.”
This instruction forms the heart of our ministry to children and youth.
Children & Youth Ministry Raising a Generation that Knows God
The Children’s Center Building Strong Foundations Early
We are prayerfully working toward establishing a Children’s Center that will serve children 13 years and below, welcoming them from different church backgrounds and denominations.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to train children in the ways of the Lord and help them grow in godly character from an early age.
The Bible encourages parents and leaders in Ephesians 6:4 to bring up children in the training and admonition of the Lord, and Proverbs 22:6 reminds us to:
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
At HBN, we believe that when a child is carefully guided, taught, and shaped in the right path from the beginning, that foundation often remains with them throughout life.
Resources for Growth
- Children’s Bible and learning materials
- Games and creative resources
- Musical instruments and arts materials
Our desire is to help children grow spiritually, mentally, and creatively, while developing a heart for God.
Youth Ministry
Channeling the Strength of Youth Toward God
The Bible recognizes the unique strength and potential found in young people.
In Proverbs 20:29, we read:
“The glory of young men is their strength.”
Likewise, 1 John 2:14 reminds us that young people are strong and that the Word of God can dwell richly in them, enabling them to overcome challenges.
We believe that the energy, strength, and potential of youth are gifts from God, meant to be directed toward His purposes.
"We believe that the energy, strength, and potential of youth are gifts from God, meant to be directed toward His purposes."
Our Heart for the Youth
Our desire is to help young people grow into responsible, spiritually grounded leaders who will live for God and influence their generation positively.
Through teaching, mentorship, and fellowship, we seek to help youth:
– Grow in their relationship with God
– Develop godly character
– Discover their purpose and calling
– Use their strength and potential to serve God and others
Youth Programs and Activities
– Youth camps and retreats
– Leadership and discipleship conferences
– Mentorship and spiritual formation programs
– Outreach and ministry initiatives in schools and communities
Through these programs, youth learn to live purposefully, lead responsibly, and impact their generation for Christ.
Our Heart and Calling
Children and youth ministry is not merely a program. It is a sacred calling.
Our prayer is to see a generation that:
– Knows God personally
– Lives according to His Word
– Passes on the faith to the generation after them
By God’s grace, we believe that what is planted in the hearts of children and youth today will shape families, churches, and nations tomorrow.
