Student Ministries at Lexington Baptist Church
A Place Where Students Build Faith, Friendship, and a Firm Foundation
At Lexington Baptist Church, we believe students aren’t just the future of the church — they’re an essential part of it right now.
Our Student Ministries are designed to help middle school, high school, and college students deepen their relationship with Christ, grow in community, and live out their faith boldly.
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.”
— 1 Timothy 4:12
Youth Group
Sunday Nights 5:30–7:00 PM | Grades: 6th–12th
Sunday evenings at LBC are designed for families — while younger children attend Awana, our middle and high school students gather for Youth Group in the Youth Center!
Each week includes:
- Bible Study & Teaching: Gospel-centered messages that connect Scripture to real life.
- Youth-led Worship: Students take an active role in leading worship through music, learning what it means to use their gifts to glorify God and serve the church.
- Small Groups: A space to ask questions, share experiences, and build friendships grounded in faith.
- Games & Fellowship: Fun, engaging activities that help students feel connected and at home.
Our goal is to equip students to live for Christ in their schools, homes, and communities… and to build lifelong faith in a world that needs hope.
College Ministries
Ages: 18–25 (College + Young Adults)
Our College Ministry exists to support and disciple students attending Washington & Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) — along with other local young adults stepping into new seasons of life and faith.
On Sundays at 9:30am, students gather during the school year for breakfast, Bible study and connection. Whether you’re navigating college life, starting your career, or looking for a place to belong, you’ll find encouragement and purpose here.
Student Ministry Events & Highlights
No Sleeper Weekend (Every Winter)
A high-energy lock-in full of worship, games, food, and fun! No Sleeper is one of our most popular student events — a chance to connect with friends, laugh hard, and grow deeper in faith.
Plant Camp (Summer Missions)
Each summer, our students serve alongside mission partners to share the Gospel through community outreach, service projects, and ministry initiatives. It’s an unforgettable week of faith in action.
Partnering With Parents
We believe parents play a vital role in spiritual growth! If you have any questions about Youth or College Ministries, would like to volunteer, or want to get your student involved, our team would love to connect with you!
