IBC Youth of Antwerp are committed to growing our younger generation to be leaders in the church, and dedicated followers of Christ.  Our youth regularly volunteer in many areas of the church, including media, worship, and scripture reading.  They also hold occasional events throughout the year, both as a Youth ministry, and in concordance with the other ministries of the church.

 

 

MISSION STATEMENT 

In partnership with families, it engages 100% of the students under its care, to train them to live independently in Christ, and to send them out as exceptional, godly men and women of integrity who will transform their homes, their schools, their churches, their workplaces, and their worlds for Christ. 

 

The youth ministry of IBC ANTWERP exist to equip young people to develop a deeper relationship with Christ, encourage uplifting relationships with other Christians, and empower life changing relationships with non-believers.

We envision our youths seeing Christ as the answer, getting an opportunity to know Him better through worship, small groups, and activities.
