Youth
Oakley Youth . . .
Youth Ministry
Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.
1 Timothy 4:12
Youth Minister: Mike Adelman
God wants you to live a life devoted to the Lord, regardless of your age. Here at Oakley Baptist Church we make every effort to instill this principle in the lives of our young people. God can and does use young people to make sure that the message of the Gospel is spread throughout the world. Statistics also bear out that if someone is to make a decision to receive Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior, it will most likely be done before they finish high school.
We have a great deal of things going on with our youth. Why don't you come out and join us.
True Love Waits (TLW) is all about making a commitment to remain sexually pure until marriage. The TLW pledge reads as follows:
Believing that true love waits, I make a commitment to God, myself, my family, my friends, my future mate, and my future children to a lifetime of purity including sexual abstinence from this day until the day I enter a biblical marriage relationship
We have asked our youth to make this pledge and remain pure until they enter a biblical marriage relationship. For more information on True Love Waits.
