About TBS
The mission of TBS is to help teens have a faithful relationship with Christ. We try to fulfill this mission by helping you to better understand the Bible and apply it to your life.
TBS allows you the freedom to ask questions and offer ideas of your own. The principles we rely on in helping students to understand the Bible can be found in the Apostle's Creed.
Friendship and having fun together are important aspects of sharing and growing in one's faith, so TBS tries to supplement Bible study with fellowships and activities.
TBS helps those in need and assists those who are trying to share the Christian faith by:
Maintaining a mission fund to help community members and others who are going through difficult times.
Providing support for mission organizations like Wycliffe Bible Translators and Harvest Free Medical Clinic.
Giving monthly assistance to needy students of Moultrie Middle School.
