Student Leadership

“. . . I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” Ephesians 4:1

Jesus expected leaders to serve.

Jesus gave his disciples an image of leadership that we use as our standard for Student Leadership within our High School Ministry.

“Jesus called them [the disciples] together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:25-28

Jesus shattered what most people think leadership style is all about: being in charge. He goes even further to define true leadership as serving others. “Serving others” is how we define ministry. This type of servant-leadership is not attractive to most people. It goes in direct opposition to the attitude of running to the car to ride in the front seat or being first in line to eat or telling everyone what to do.

We’re not looking to fill our leadership team with the cute, fun and popular. We’re looking for people who love Jesus and are willing to make ‘servant-leadership’ the standard their lives reflect.

If you’re in 10th-12th grades and would like to be this kind of leader, pick up a student leadership application from the church office and turn it in by Sunday, September 18.

ABS - Area Bible Studies

Because of High Schoolers need for fellowship and relationships with other Christians; we meet midweek for in-depth Bible study and small group time. Each week we study the Bible and then break into smaller groups for discussion, prayer and accountability.
The ABS (Area Bible Study) resumes Thursday, September 15 from 7-9 p.m. in the Teen Center.

Impact is our large group meeting for Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers that’s designed to be inviting, have a friendly, fun, challenging, and exciting atmosphere. This morning program shatters the “church is boring” stereotype and will help you celebrate life. It is filled with laughter, antics, videos, singing, dramas, a message and small groups that challenge teenagers towards spiritual maturity.

Summer ABS - August 18

Baptisms - August 4

Mark 16:16a says: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved…”
If you're a believer and you've never been baptized—let's talk about it!
We’ll celebrate baptisms at ABS on August 4.
Also, if you were baptized as an infant and want to remember your baptism through immersion, we’ll celebrate that on August 4 too.
Contact Pastor David before ABS, if you want to be baptized or if you want to remember your baptism.
