Over the past few years the youth and children’s ministries have been revamped, reshaped and re-invigorated. We have put a lot of time and effort into making these programs optimal for seeing spiritual growth for those age four through graduation. If you are someone who has thought about bringing your kids to Wednesday night programs but are wondering what the benefits are, this article is for you.
Worship
Midweek services offer worship in a style designed for that age group. Whether in song or in learning, each child will encounter worship fashioned with them in mind. Musical worship is engineered to assist a connection between students and the God who created them. Lessons and studies are also constructed to focus on how that relationship can and should be lived out at each level.
Fellowship
Whether it is at Elevate Jr. (4-5’s), Elevate (1st-6th grade), or Crossroads (7th – 12th), Wednesday nights have been setup to offer a unique opportunity to get to know people your age. The interaction and encouragement of peers is just what Christian fellowship is all about. Games and activities are built with relationship building in mind.
Discipleship
At each level, you’ll find committed adults pouring into those in attendance. Young people need mentors and Wednesday nights allow us to come with our guards down, in a relaxed environment and invest in each other. Small Group times allow adults to help connect the dots between the lesson and where it applies to the lives of each student.
Ownership
Wednesday night programs give kids an opportunity to take responsibility for their own relationship with Jesus. Whether through memorization, devotionals, or small group interface, students have the chance to be accountable for how they respond to God.
Whether you are thinking about attending for the first time, or trying to get back in the routine, Crossroads, Elevate and Elevate Jr. provide a unique opportunity for students to connect. Wednesday nights allow us to minister to you, and our prayer is that you’ll join us.
