Sunday & Wednesday LifeWire
Focus on the Bible, application, and practicality in the life of a junior high student. Through the use of Bible stories and characters, the attributes of God, the life of Christ, biblical decision-making, a knowledge of God's standards, a biblical world view and a godly self-image, we train youth to learn and live the meat of God's Word.
Missions trip and outreach
Developing each other's focus on missions. We consider friends, family, community, the needy and the world as our mission field. Through regular service projects and our annual missions trip, students learn what it means to follow Christ. Junior high students have an incredible capacity to give, love, and serve those around them.
Small Groups
This is where real effective ministry happens. A higher ratio of student to staff makes these small group times great for closer contact with students and more time spent in the Word and modeling/mentoring of Jesus. Our goal is that students will grow closer to Jesus and a knowledge of His Word by spending time focusing on their spiritual life.
Fellowship
These events are crucial to the building of friendships, getting kids into the group, having good Christian fun and making youth group a place where we can effectively communicate the Gospel. Through these fun activities, we can gain access to the non-believer's heart and mind and encourage godly relationships.
Why do we exist?
Training Junior High youth to be faithful and prepared followers of Jesus Christ.
Here are some of the Bible verses that help describe our ministry: Matthew 28:18-20; James 1:22; Ephesians 3:16-19; 1 Timothy 4:12
How do we define each word?
Faithful - Unwavering in their devotion to the LORD
Prepared - Giving them the knowledge to stand up for the LORD in and ungodly world
Followers of Jesus Christ - Jesus said that we must take up our cross daily and follow Him. Also, the great commission calls us to develop disciples and teach them everything that He has commanded. Disciples follow their master, we follow Jesus!
Sundays at 9:45-11:00AM
Wednesdays at 7:00-8:30PM
Parents, over the next few days and weeks I will be posting some articles that I feel might be some good discussion starters for you and your family. I know that the articles might hit close to home for some of you. All I ask is that you read the articles and have a discussion with your spouse and your children. Then if you need to meet with any of the pastors here at the church let us know. 
The articles are not meant to make you feel guilty by any means. I just want to give you some things to think about.
Keep checking this post for updated links.
Enjoy!
