Student Ministry

Purpose

Kids at C@C grow up continuing to mature in their belief, becoming fully integrated members of the body of Christ, pursuing a relationship with Christ on their own, according to a foundation of belief that biblically and experientially depicts God as He truly is.  This relationship will cause an outflow response of gratitude to God’s heart of redemption, relationship, and restoration, resulting in the fruit of transformed lives, love for one another, power for miracles, and a desire to see others find new life in Jesus.

Mission

Reveal to this generation of young people who Christ really is (SIT) and then lead them to properly respond to him (WALK) and the world (STAND). To do this we must help them discover the objective truth of the bible and the historical/present figure of Christ, and how to cultivate a relationally meaningful experience with Jesus.  This will happen first through the example of leaders who model Christ-likeness, and therefore earn the right to be heard.

Student ministry program dates during the Semester Break

Our last student ministry Sunday small groups for the semester (at least officially) will be on December 14th , and will resume again on the 4th of January. Our last Wednesday night VOLITION events will be the all-student Christmas Bash on December 17th (see above for details), and will resume on January 7th. Just a reminder, High School meets every Wed 7pm-9pmish, Middle School is every 1st and 3rd Wed from 7-8:30ish, and 5th/6th every 2nd Wed from 6-7:30pm.

No 5th/6th VOLITION this Semester

For the time being VOLITION for 5th and 6th graders won’t be meeting the second Wednesday from 6-7:30pm. Sorry for the change, but the interest level and staffing needs need to be addressed to make this a viable program. Hopefully we’ll see your 5th and 6th graders in Family Church with you on Sundays at 10:15am. Family church is designed with 5th graders as the target age of the kids so I’m sure they’ll enjoy themselves and take away some great things that your family can discuss at home.
