1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may

obtain. Hebrews 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed

about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us

run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who

for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the

throne of God.

Emmanuel Baptist Church Youth

Group 2011-2012

RUN THE RACE!!!!!!

The youth ministry of Emmanuel Baptist Church, through God’s grace and guidance, will seek to:

Convert, Convict, and Correct all those who may come in contact with this ministry; including, teens, parents, and staff. So that, through their changed lives there may be a real impact on those in their immediate area and eventually on others throughout the world. This will be done for this purpose: that God may be glorified (1 Cor.10:31) and that they may Qualify when they see Christ (Ecc.12:13-14; 2 Tim 4:5-8; Matt 25:21, 23).

2 Timothy 4:7-8 – I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day….
