Children / Youth / College & Career / Music / Sunday School

Jesus Christ gave the utmost attention to little children. We strive to follow His example by making our ministry to elementary age students, preschoolers and their families every bit as important as other ministries of the church. From our fully-graded Sunday School classes to seasonal activities such as Kid's Camp and Vacation Bible School, our goal is to teach values and beliefs about God, Jesus, and the church that these young people will carry with them the rest of their lives.

Our children's / preschool ministry includes, but is not limited to:

• Sunday School classes for each school grade and every age of preschool
• AWANA program on Wednesday nights
• Vacation Bible School each summer
• Kid's Camp for grades 2 and up each summer
• Praise Kids choir for elementary students
• Preschool choir

The Student Ministry at Shelbyville Mills Baptist Church defies the logic that church can't be both fun and vitally important for young people. Staffed by fun and fully-trained parents and youth leaders, our youth ministry is dedicated to helping students in grades 7-12 grow in the likeness of Christ. We accomplish this with a variety of activities, such as:

• Sunday School classes for each school grade
• Wednesday Night Youth Worship Services that involve praise and Bible study in their own Youth Fellowship Room
• Youth Camp each summer
• Mission opportunities both with the church at-large and specifically for youth
• Youth Choir
• Many other youth activities throughout the year

Our goal within the College and Career department at Shelbyville Mills Baptist Church is to develop within each student a personal faith and a deeper love for God, by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is vital that as as student begins his or her own career, they deepen their own personal faith and love for God. As personal faith grows, we will make disciples of Jesus Christ while dealing with the issues of college and future career. We also focus on other activities:

• Sunday Morning Bible Study
• Wednesday devotional with a focus on current issues, struggles or questions
• Counsel on stewardship and budgeting/finance
• Activities throughout the year to encourage fellowship and personal growth
• Focus upon discipleship and ministry to others

We believe music is an exceptional way to participate in worship and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise and worship are not just for choir members or those who have some kind of musical background, but for every believer who professes the name of Christ. Shelbyville Mills Baptist Church offers several opportunities for those wishing to participate in leading worship corporately.

• Adult Celebration Choir
• Praise Band and instrumentalists
• Soloists for worship services
• Small ensembles for adults and youth
• Youth Choir for grades 7-12
• Praise Kids for grades 1-6
• Preschool Choir beginning at age 2

Providing our church family with a solid, Bible-centered education ministry is a top priority at Shelbyville Mills Baptist Church. Our primary education focus is on the Sunday School which meets every Sunday morning at 9:00 AM. Classes are offered for preschool, children, youth, college and career, women, men and median and older couples. It is our desire that through Sunday School people will be saved, ministered to, and have the needs of fellowship met.

In addition to Sunday School, events are planned yearly that incorporate the whole church body. Events are also planned yearly for senior adults, ladies, men, youth, children and preschoolers.
