Our first Bible Study Lessons...




Students need to be well-equipped lights in their dark worlds. They need to know what they believe and why they believe it. Teens who don't know the basics are easily pulled away from their faith by others who challenge their faith or who offer them an imitation Christianity. So take a journey with you back to the basics of who and what Christianity is all about. As you move from lesson to lesson, you will learn 1) God has a lot to say to us about finding salvation and living our lives for Him; 2) why it's important for a Christian to be involved with his or her church; 3) having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important thing we'll ever do; and 4) the special role the Holy Spirit plays in our lives.


Lesson 1: The God Book--The Bible is God's Word to all humans. In it we can discover truth and wisdom for finding salvation and life in Him. (2 Timothy 1:5; 3:14-17; Hebrews 4:12-13; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; James 1:22-24; John 1:1-2, 14; Psalm 119:105-12)


Lesson 2: The Community of Believers--Lifelong involvement with a community of believers is vital to a Christian's continued spiritual growth. (Ephesians 2:19-22; 4:11-16; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:42-47; 1 Corinthians 12:12-16)


Lesson 3: Who Jesus Is--Having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ means knowing who He is and allowing Him to change who we are.


Lesson 4: Who Is the Holy Spirit?--Present since the creation of the world, the Holy Spirit is God's Spirit at work in our lives, providing us with guidance and help for daily life.

It's official!

Well, here we are. It's been a long and hard road but we're finally here! Seven years of student ministries and now it's time to start something new, something big, a REVOLUTION! When my dad, the pastor, asked me and Tyler to start a Student Ministry with his church we were totally excited. That was months ago. Now it's all coming together and we're getting ready to start things and I'm totally excited!

So about the revolution thing...
From Webster's dictionary: Revolution: a sudden, radial or complete change.
That's what I expect! It's about time for people in this city, especially students, to revolt! A Jesus revolution! :D
"Who needs a doctor; the healthy or the sick? I'm here inviting outsiders, not insiders - an invitation to a changed life, changed inside and out." Luke 5:31b

This place will be somewhere to find out about God. We want to offer students a place to go to feel safe, where they know they are loved. Somewhere to get prayer and somewhere to pray. Somewhere to love and be loved and somewhere to grow.

On this site you will find postings about Sunday Messages, Small Group Studies, Devotions and Upcoming Events. I hope to see this ministry grow and bring worship to Him in all things to come.
