Designed with the needs and interests of teenaged girls in
mind, Acteens is an opportunity to grow in understanding God,
yourself, and others.
“but
you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, an in all Judea
and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
– Acts 1:8
The Acteens®
of EBC are teenage girls devoted to sharing Jesus Christ with
our community and the world.
The girls do mission work in local nursing homes, deliver
holiday gifts to shut-ins, and go on prayer walks at local
schools and neighborhoods.
There is a strong bond between all teenage
girls when they are brought together for the cause of the
gospel. Weekly meetings for prayer and bible study strengthen
friendships and love among these sisters in Christ.
At each meeting a different girl is able to lead the
group in considering current events in light of a biblical
worldview. This
provides variety in the learning experience, builds unity among
the group, and fosters leadership skills in the individual
girls.
Each week the Acteens®
seek more opportunities to equip,
encourage, and empower
themselves and others to know Christ and make Him known
What is Acteens?
Acteens is a missions organization for girls in our church
who are aged 12–17 or in grades 7–12. Through Acteens,
teenaged girls in our church can have opportunities to grow in
their relationships with God and their peers. Acteens learn to
look beyond themselves and become actively involved in missions
and ministry.
Missions is at the heart of Acteens, and members explore and
do hands-on missions in their communities and beyond. Acteens
are also actively involved in learning about missions and
praying for and giving to missions.
Why is missions education
important?
Missions education teaches that God is active and working in
the world today. Acteens helps girls learn that they can be a
part of God’s work in the world. The girls also come to
understand that the world is bigger than their own community.
