Next Generation Ministry
We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders. For he issued his laws to Jacob; he gave his instructions to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, so the next generation might know them— even the children not yet born—
— Psalm 78:4-8 NLT

What We Do:
Our Next Generation Ministry supports youth from infancy through young adulthood. We provide Christ-centered programs, activities, and mentorship that meet the spiritual, emotional, and educational needs of every stage—whether it’s nursery care, children’s church, teen outreach, or college ministry. We’re with them every step of the way!
SHOW JESUS
In everything we do, we want to elevate Jesus.
We are committed to clearly and consistently showing what it means to follow Christ—no matter where someone is on their journey. We don’t just talk about Jesus; we model what it looks like to live for Him every day. Our prayer is that each young person takes a step closer to Christ every week. Because ultimately, it’s all about Jesus.
BUILD MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS
We are intentional about building real, meaningful relationships with every generation we serve. No one was meant to walk through life alone. Everyone wants to be seen, known, and valued. We were created for community—and God is revealed through relationships.
Our desire is that every child, teen, and young adult feels deeply connected to the family of God here at Brown Baptist. Because belonging often opens the heart to believe in the hope and home found in Jesus.
MAKE IT FUN!
We’re serious about fun—and we’re not apologizing for it!
At Brown Baptist Next Generation Ministry, we believe church should be full of laughter, joy, and unforgettable moments. From exciting events to everyday interactions, we create experiences that students love and look forward to. Our God is not boring, and neither is our church. We’re living life to the fullest and soaking in every moment. Simply put: we want every child, teen, and young adult to enjoy God and have fun in church.
