YOUTH MINISTRY
Briarwood’s student ministries exist to equip students to worship God, to reach their schools, to reach Birmingham, to reach the world for Christ—all for God’s glory.
Briarwood Youth Group desires to partner with parents and other adults to reach the next generation for God’s Glory.
With 400 students between 7th and 12 grade, the youth staff realizes that the only way to effectively and fruitfully minister to all of our students is by joining with parents and volunteer leaders. We have many volunteer opportunities – from being a chaperone at a short event to leading a discipleship group for a year – and we would love to have YOU volunteer!

D-groups are our small group Bible studies for grade 7–12 students. Each group consists of 8–12 students along with 2 leaders. Our desire is that every student would be in a discipleship group Bible study. We rely heavily on parents and other adults to disciple our students through these small group meetings.
