X2 Youth Ministries is the ministry to grades 6th – 12th grades at Amherst Baptist Church. Several ministries are part of our strategy in training up our youth. We believe that different ministries give the youth the opportunity to grow well rounded in Word of God and in relationship to both God and to each other.
Our Mission: Youth at X2 are ESTABLISHED in God’s LOVE, GROWING in God’s WORD, and MULTIPLYING God’s TOUCH on lives by LIVING & ACTING according to the SPIRIT of GOD.
In simple terms we say: FOLLOW LEAD IGNITE!

Annual, special meetings and retreats
Encounters/retreat |
Twice a year usually around Fall and Sprin - A restful and yet active retreat away from the regular schedule to encounter eachother and to encounter God. A time to hear afresh and to be restored. |
WOW WEEK |
Once a year – during the week of VBS – we break away for 5 afternoons of searching out the World of Wonders God has given us stewardship over. These are little afternoon get aways. |
Youth Camp |
One week of summer we get away to Cedarmore Camp in Kentucky to hear the Word of God and to engage in an all-out outrageous time of energy and fun. Worship and study and small group take much of the morning and the afternoons are laden with a variety of physical challenges, high end games and activities. |
