The Youth Ministry of Morris Hill Baptist Church is to: Lift up the Savior, reach students, connect with
other Christians, to become more like Christ, and equip for service; so everyone who worships here can express
Christ's love around them.
We work hard to present a well rounded youth program to develop our youth spiritually, socially, and
physically. By offering a variety of activities and studies, we feel it will benefit our young people,
their families, and their communities. Please keep the youth ministry in your daily prayers that God will
raise up strong, Christian young people.
We feel that teenage years can be the most crutial when developing a strong believer in Christ. That is why
we call our youth department (and new facility) The Foundation. As we help our young people in their
walk with God, it builds up and strengthens their foundation for life - Jesus Christ.

The goal of the Women’s Ministries is to
encourage ladies of the church to seek a balance and Spirit-filled walk with the
Lord in their personal and professional lives. We do this through participation
in bible studies (which foster a deeper commitment to Jesus Christ), expanding our
prayer lives (which will foster under girding of the church as a whole),
encouraging and supporting one another through fellowship (which will result in
meeting the needs of ladies in their daily personal and professional lives), and
through sharing our faith with others as they deepen their concern for the lost
people of the world. The purpose of the Women’s Ministries is to under gird
and support the ministries of the church, always focusing on our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.

Watchman Prayer Wall
"Jerusalem I have put guards on the walls to watch. They must not be silent day or night. You people who
remind the Lord of your needs in prayer should never be quiet. You should not stop praying to Him."
Isaiah 62: 6-7.
Building a wall of prayer to watch over God's house:
...praying specifically for the ministries within Mooris Hill - such as leaders, deacons, staff, pastors,
members, and for a spiritual awakening among God's people.
...that God would send the lost to His house, a house of prayer.
...members are ecouraged to commit to prayer by signing up to pray for one hour a week and to pray the same
hour each week.
Our prayer is that we have someone praying for His church around the clock - day and night, 24/7, bulding a
wall of prayer.
Prayer Chain
This is used in times of emergency, such as death or surgery. You can sign up today by contacting the church
office or Janie Stitt.
