Minnesota Teen Network
Minnesota Regular Baptist teens have their own Facebook group, sponsored by the Minnesota State Youth Committee. The website contains news about state youth activities, students’ perspectives about participating in Talents For Christ (TFC) , a listing of the TFC results, a video clip of a student preaching, etc. Facebook is a tool that some are using to connect people for Christian camaraderie and spiritual development. To learn more about how to use Facebook.com as a ministry tool with teens, read youth pastor Marc Herron’s article, Facebook and Youth Ministry, in the upcoming May/June Baptist Bulletin .
