About the BPC Youth Group
 
     The BPC Youth Group welcomes youth 6th Grade to 12th Grade.  They meet on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month in the youth room of the Educational Building from 5:00 - 6:00 pm then walk over to the YMCA for Y-Night from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.  On the youth nights they practice music and hold devotionals that the youth conduct.
     Youth leaders are parents of the youth who, along with the youth themselves, help plan and organize the youth program and take turns working with the various activities.
