The Young Church of Bethlehem is a project properly guided by the North Para Association, linked to the Adventist Church Marco. The specific needs of the more than 400 young people enter into in the faith, rescue friends who fall away from church or often get lost in it and reach young people of their friendship circles and influence were factors that led to the creation of the project, thus changing the current configuration of the Adventist Church of Marco, to meet this demand. Ahead of the project was put Pr. Heberson Licar who guided and assisted by Pr. Phanuel Almeida initiated discipleship meetings with 12 young people on February 24, 2015, at the residence of Pr. Phanuel. The process took place in three phases:

Discipleship meetings
Establishment of JPEGs (Youth Small Group)
QS1 (I Save 1, each young discipling a friend)

During the process establishes the basis for the project with communion, relationship and mission. Following the biblical and prophetic teachings, using the selected literature, visiting projects to reach young people with denominational vision, one can observe the direction of the Holy Spirit in every action. On 15 August 2015 the project was officially voted by the committee of the Marco SDA. Day August 29, 2015 was the official presentation to the Adventist community and day September 12, 2015 the project has already started in its facilities, the youth hall.
