Sunday morning’s sermon.

During junior high, it becomes obvious that we must address “SEX” from a biblical perspective. Our student ministry partners with parents by teaching students the importance of accountability, healthy friendships, and biblical standards for purity. At the same time we think it is much more important for students to learn these principles from their parents. We coach parents to focus on these issues in faith talks and intentional conversations before, and throughout the junior high/middle school years.

This seminar covers topics like: The Biblical Standard For Purity, Spiritual Training of Teens: Parent Roles and Church Roles, Identity in Christ, Accountability and Communication.

This conference is FREE and is for parents of students in junior high school.

Sunday morning’s sermon.

A child moving into adulthood is a significant event. Biblically, we must equip our children to become men and women of God. Age 16 is a significant time of freedom in our culture. Milestone 5 is about becoming a man or woman of God. Our parents’ seminar we will equip you to disciple your freshmen and sophomore students for adulthood. Issues such as spiritual gifts, the roles of men and women, spiritual disciplines, service in the church, dealing with failure, and other biblical issues will be explored. We teach parents to host a very special “Rite of Passage” ceremony as the discipleship process has been completed and the student prepares for adulthood.

This seminar is for parents and we will provide resources for each family’s rite of passage event.

What a joy to have the littlest in our families sitting beside (or running down an aisle, maybe) while their parents and grandparents and church family members worship next to them.

Our high school senior summit is an annual family equipping event that takes place before high school graduation. Parents, pastors, and student leaders share a meal together. Students will be charged by our student ministry staff as they close this chapter of life and embark on the next.

The focal point of the Senior Summit is a time for parents to read their pre-written blessing over them. We provide resources for families to lead in this time as they prepare for the following Sunday’s high school graduate recognition.

Milestone 6 takes place on Sunday morning. During this service, along with the recognition prior, we thank God for our high school graduates and recognize them at the beginning of our worship service, with a time of prayer and public blessing.
