Parents of Teens

God's Word clearly teaches that God has given parents the primary responsibility of spiritually growing their young ones: Ephesians 6:4, Proverbs 22:6, Titus 2:4-5.

Our ministry team desires to support, resource, equip and bring parents together to assist them in this great task.

We also believe that the job of the church is to provide age appropriate ministry AND to bring families together for worship, teaching, prayer and service, not to separate them at all gatherings.

As a result SCBC provides opportunities for families to grow together through the programs and gatherings of the Church.

Santa Cruz Bible Church Parents of Teens


Parent Invitational Worship Services

We desire to have parents and students worship, learn and grow in combined worship gatherings. Several times a year we invite parents to join us in the Youth Center for Sunday morning parents and teens combined worship gatherings. If you are on our database you'll be invited! In addition we don't schedule youth worship services on Easter and Christmas Sundays to encourage families to worship together at the main services during holidays.

Annual Parents of Teens Summit Meeting

We gather once a year to update parents on all the plans for the coming year and introduce new parents to the philosophy and workings of our youth Ministry Department. We also use this time to listen and gather information about how we can best serve you and your students. Late May, 2006.
