Yesterday, on Palm Sunday, we didn’t just read about it… we lived it. On Palm Sunday, crowds welcomed Jesus into the city—many excited, many curious, but not all truly understanding who He was. Two thousand years later, we walked into our own “city” with that same question in mind: Do people really know who Jesus is? Our students stepped out and had real conversations with real people. We met families, kids, and individuals from all kinds of backgrounds—some full of...

Every student who walks through our doors has a story—and in the past three months, we’ve had 192 of them. Every Monday and Wednesday night, we open God’s Word and disciple students. This semester, we’ve been walking through the book of Mark, helping them understand what it truly means to follow Jesus. We are a local, homegrown ministry that began 21 years ago out of a small Southern Baptist church. By God’s grace, we are now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with no salaries and no...

We’ve been looking back at past Bigstuf memories, and now we’re excited to invite students to join us again this summer. Bigstuf 2026 (June 8th–12th) will be our 21st year attending this camp. Each summer, students spend the week worshiping, opening God’s Word, building community, and growing in their faith alongside students from across the country. Bigstuf has been a place where students are encouraged, challenged, and reminded of who they are in Christ, and we’ve seen God...

Student Outreach Story My group and I were walking into a department store in Thomasville when we noticed someone sitting in a car. I was nervous to go up to them because they looked sketchy at first. We decided to go talk to them anyway. They shared that they were sleeping in their car and struggling with a family situation. We were able to pray for them and their family. It was really special to pray together, and I hope their family is restored. This is what discipleship looked...

D-Now Weekend 2026 - Abide This weekend, we witnessed God move in powerful and personal ways. We are grateful to share that two students accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, reminding us why we gather, teach, and go. On Saturday, 10 drivers took students across our city—into neighborhoods, hotels, laundromats, shopping centers, and grocery stores—meeting people where they were and sharing the love of Jesus through prayer, conversation, and presence. Outreach is one of our...

As we come to the end of this year, we are deeply thankful for how God has continued to move through The Walk Youth Group. What began over 21 years ago has grown into a place where students are learning to follow Jesus in real life. This semester alone, 271 individual students attended youth events, which has been a huge blessing. At the heart of what we do is discipleship. Our high school students spent this semester studying the Book of Mark, looking closely at how Jesus taught His...

As we wrap up this year, we just want to pause and say thank you. This year has been filled with incredible joy—joy in seeing students grow, joy in community, joy in watching God move in big and small ways. From weekly gatherings to small groups, from conversations to moments of prayer, we’ve been reminded again and again why we do what we do. There’s something special about watching students take steps in their faith, build real friendships, and experience the love of Jesus...

Celebrating the True Joy of Christmas This week, we gathered for our White Elephant Gift Christmas Party—a night full of fun, laughter, and connection. For many students, this will be one of the moments they remember most about this Christmas season. Before the gift exchange, we intentionally broke into small groups and opened the Bible together, walking through Luke 2. Our high school students helped lead middle school students, because we believe real ministry and real growth...

It’s Giving Tuesday, and here’s why we’re asking for your support: Because for 21 years, we’ve been committed to doing student ministry the way Jesus modeled in the Gospels — learn, grow, go. Each part matters, and when they come together, students thrive. We spend a lot of time helping students understand the Bible, but we also help them take what they’re learning and use it in real conversations. When students share who Jesus is to them in simple, everyday moments, people...

We’re so thankful for another meaningful Thanksgiving Outreach. Our team gathered at Thomasville High School, then spent the morning delivering meals throughout our community. Every year God opens doors we never expect, and today was no different. This outreach has become a tradition for 17 years now, and one of the best parts is seeing former students come back and serve alongside the ones who are still in youth today. We also had families join us who had never served with us before,...
