OWOSSO – Acteens in Action, a new virtual program for teen girls ages 12-19, is launching this October 20 at 5pm across Michigan. This innovative initiative combines monthly Zoom meetings with hands-on local and state mission opportunities, allowing young women to grow in their faith and serve their communities.
The third Sunday of every month at 5pm, participants will engage in interactive Bible studies, hear from guest missionaries, and plan local service projects. The program kicks off with a focus on understanding the Great Commission and planning a Trunk or Treat event. Future meetings will cover topics like gratitude, the birth of Jesus, and various ways to share God's love in practical ways.
"We're excited to offer a virtual platform for teen girls across the state to connect, learn, and serve," says Diane Bowen, one of the program coordinators. "By combining Bible study with real-world application, it is our goal to inspire a new generation of mission-minded young women."
Acteens in Action is open to all girls ages 12-19 from Southern Baptist churches across Michigan, and participants are encouraged to invite friends.
