What's Being Taught!
Here is what we will be discussing with yours students in October!
The Bridge (5-6th)
Series: The Safe Place
Series Description: Life can throw a lot at us-things that feel too big to handle on our own. But when we remember that God is strong, that He's with us, and that Jesus has already won, we can face hard things with courage and find that God Himself is our safe place.
Memory Verse: God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble. (Psalm 46:1 NIrV)
Week to Week Breakdown
Week One: Israel Captures Jericho
Joshua 6:1-16, 20
Bottom Line: God is strong, so I can be brave.
Week Two: A Gold Statue and a Blazing Furnace
Daniel 3
Bottom Line: God is with me, so I can stand for what's true.
Week Three: NO YOUTH GROUP - See you at Trunk or Treat!
Week Four: Game Night/Night of Worship - Great Invite Night!
Middle School (7th-8th)
Series: Social Cues
Series Description: Social Cues helps students discover how intentional, healthy friendships can shape them into who God has called them to be. In a generation that is constantly connected yet often feels deeply lonely, students will learn that God designed us for genuine community and relationships that help us grow. This series challenges students to choose their friendships wisely, pursue peace over drama, and invest in the people who will help them faithfully run the race God has set before them.
Memory Verse: "Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble." (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NLT)
Week to Week Breakdown
Week One: Run your race with the right friends-because God designed you to go farther together.
Scripture: Hebrews 12:1 NLT
Week Two: If you want better friendships with people, start by building a real friendship with Jesus.
Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 NLT
Week Three: NO YOUTH GROUP - See you at Trunk or Treat.
Week Four: Game Night/Night of Worship - Great Invite Night!
High School (9th-12th)
Series: Duped
Series Description: This series helps students recognize the counterfeits that promise a full life but ultimately leave them unfulfilled. Students will explore how fake glory, religion, love, and fulfillment can distract them from the life God designed for them. Through Jesus’ truth, they’ll discover their identity in God, the value of humility, the reality of God’s love, and what it means to truly live.
Memory Verse: "I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and as innocent as doves." (Matthew 10:16 ESV)
Week to Week Breakdown
Week One: Don't be duped into performing your religion for approval.
Scripture: Matthew 15:8 NIV
Week Two: Don't be duped into downplaying yourself
Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:6 NIV
Week Three: NO YOUTH GROUP - See you at Trunk or Treat
Week Four: Game Night/ Night of Worship - Great Invite Night!
