First Baptist Conroe Student Ministry

What is SWAG?

SWAG stands for Students Willing and Able to Go, and it exists to give every student who is a follower of Christ the chance to serve in our student ministry as well as our church while discovering his/her God-given gifts.

SWAG is a 12-month commitment that runs from the beginning of one school year (August) through the end of the next summer (July). A member of SWAG from one year CAN be a member in a following year, however, it is not guaranteed and students may be asked to take a break.

Any student that meets the qualifications and applies will be reviewed, and it is our hope that every Christ-following student in our ministry will consider SWAG as an opportunity to both grow and contribute to the Kingdom.
