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.
