  TEN TIMES BETTER

 

  In the book of Daniel, he and three friends are described by the king as

  being "ten times better." This is the desire we have for the teenagers of

  the First Baptist Church Youth Department.

  Our pastor, Dr. Jack Schaap, believes that the hope and future of this

  world lies in the hearts and souls of today's teenagers. Being a teenager,

  though, does not demand rebellion and confusion. Apostle Paul said in

  I Timothy 4:12,  "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of

  the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in

  purity."

  The teenagers of the First Baptist Church can and should be examples

  to those in the community around them. Through Sunday School

  lessons, preaching, teaching, and activities, they are reminded time and

  time again that God deserves and expects our best.

  The Youth Department of the First Baptist Church reaches a wide array

  of young people. From the children of regular church members to inner-

  city bus teens and from public school teens to Spanish-speaking

  teenagers, we have a program for them all.

  Our Senior Pastor, Dr. Jack Schaap, traveled the country for over

  twenty years speaking primarily at youth revivals, camps, and

  conferences. Dr. Schaap and the First Baptist Church host the annual 

    International Youth Conference each July. In 2006, 10, 119 teens and

  workers were in attendance.

  The Youth Staff of Dr. Eddie Lapina, Brother Brian Hasse, Brother Todd

  Weber, Brother Ricky Torres, and Brother Alberto Velazquez assume

  the daily tasks of the youth program.
