NextGen Ministries

BGC’s Ministries for Ages 0-24

NextGen Ministries at BGC

The Next Generation (NextGen) ministries of Baptist Grove Church are made up of three ministries including, Discovery Kids (Toddlers-5th Grade), Immersion Youth (6th Grade-12th Grade), and Abide Emerging Adults (Ages 18-24). This family of ministries exists to ensure that the next generation of believers are given a strong foundation in Christ, immersed in the Word of God, and remain grounded in faith as they transition into adulthood.

NextGen Ministries

Discovery Kids

Toddlers – 5th Grade

Helping children discover God’s love in a safe, energetic, and nurturing environment. Through creative worship and interactive teaching, we empower our youngest disciples to live out their faith as they learn who God is and who He called them to be.

Immersion Youth

Grades 6-12

Equipping students for an authentic relationship with Christ through age-relevant teaching and weekly small groups. We provide leadership opportunities and fun activities that challenge middle and high schoolers to grow into fully equipped disciples.

Abide

Ages 18-24

Navigating the transition into adulthood by grounding them in the Word of God, supporting their discernment of purpose, and fostering community among their peers. We empower emerging adults to establish faithful rhythms of devotion, connect their unique gifts to the mission of the church and respond faithfully to the needs of the world.

The Crossover

Starting May 2026, Discovery Kids will be launching The Crossover, an intentional discipleship experience designed specifically for 4th and 5th graders who are navigating the “in-between” stage of growing up—no longer little kids, but not quite teens yet. Meeting on 1st–3rd Sundays during children’s church at 10AM, this new program creates a more focused and age-appropriate environment for faith maturation! Through engaging lessons, meaningful conversations, and intentional community, The Crossover aims to help preteens deepen their faith, build confidence, and prepare for the next step in their spiritual journey.
