A New Way to Do Summer Ministry
The youth ministry in the summer of 2024 is going to look different than in any other year. Put simply, the new strategy is "Less is More."
Here is what we mean:
Instead of offering regular and consistent gatherings each week, we are trying to hit a few key times and opportunities where students will be free, and in so doing optimize our overall impact. We know that summer has a lot of other opportunities that pull all of us in different directions. By minimizing our offerings, we hope to maximize their effectiveness. Our goal is still to create a dynamic youth ministry where students can grow closer to Jesus. Below you can read more about some of the changes we have adopted this summer. God bless!
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Basic - 1x a month
higher energy, more fun, more fellowship
FroYo - 5x during the summer
an opportunity for a smaller, laid back format
that prioritizes relationship
Small Group - 1x a month
a special Saturday opportunity for fun and
fellowship in our separate guys and gals
groups. hosted by the Leggetts
HIGH SCHOOL
MERGE - 2x a month
utilizing the newly built sports court at West
Side, an opportunity for more focused
relationship building centered around
dynamic fun
Sunday Gathering Re-Launch
meeting every Sunday that's possible, but
only for 45 minutes (after the music, before
the sermon). digging into fellowship, faith,
and prayer
One other thing to name is that Ben will be preaching at various points throughout the summer, and without more help in the middle school, that means there cannot be a middle school Sunday morning option other than for students to participate in the service. The high school group is re-launching, but it is being student led. So there will be Sundays where there is a morning option for high school students and not for middle school students. We would love your help in providing more and better opportunities for our middle schoolers to receive the kind of discipleship that is best suited for them.
