Scripture is filled with examples of God’s people gathering for worship. College students gather together—and join with the larger First Baptist Bryan family—to joyfully worship God and hear His Word clearly proclaimed.

OPPORTUNITIES TO GO

Going on missions is essential to our youth ministry at FBC Bryan. We have multiple mission trips for youth, including a local mission trip for middle schoolers, an NYC trip for 9-10th graders, and an international mission trip for 11-12th graders. We also have local mission trips and programs designed to share your faith with everyone you meet.

Missions

Mission Trips

Serving God’s people is a tenet of a Christian’s walk with Jesus. At 1BY, we place a major emphasis on serving. We GO here, there, and everywhere. From local non-profits to international trips, missions is at the core of 1BY.

Alpha Groups

Alpha Groups are led by our leadership team to carry out ministry here in the BCS area. Everyone is invited to sit at an Alpha Group table. Open minds, different thoughts, and different beliefs all have a place at this beginning as we explore the faith table.
