NextGen Ministries at BG First
At BG First, we believe the church of tomorrow is already here. That’s why our NextGen Ministries are focused on helping kids and students discover who Jesus is, how much He loves them, and how to walk with Him for life.
Our Philosophy: Rooted + Relevant
We’re not just keeping kids entertained — we’re forming future disciples.
Here’s how:
-
Relational – Safe, welcoming leaders who show Jesus’ love.
-
Biblical – Teaching that’s rooted in Scripture and age-appropriate.
-
Engaging – Hands-on, creative, and fun environments.
-
Secure – All volunteers are trained and background-checked, with digital check-ins powered by Planning Center.
