Friends Students
Navigating Life with Jesus.
The relationship your student develops with the Lord during their teenage years will shape the rest of their life. At Friends, students— 6th-12th grade—have an opportunity to encounter Jesus each week and build healthy connections with peers and supportive adult leaders.
Student Service:
Sundays at 11:00 AM
Discipleship Room (the back room behind the Worship Center)
Students can check themselves in upon arrival.
On the last Sunday of every month we sit together in main service at 11:00 AM. There is no Student service that week.
Our Values
-
We value the parents being the spiritual leaders in their homes and the church body partnering with them in that calling. Although church is really important, we believe that the family has the primary responsibility to train up a child.
Passage: Deuteronomy 6:4-9
-
We don’t believe in a junior Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit wants the hearts of our kids more than we do. We believe that the Scriptures and the Spirit want to speak to our kids about Jesus. We want to align ourselves with the Spirit as we do ministry with kids.
Passage: Proverbs 22:6
-
We value Jesus being seen in the larger story of the Bible. The Bible can capture the mind and heart of a child and it can speak to the larger story of Jesus and the Gospel. We hope to connect the Bible to the larger story of the Gospel and not teach the Bible in random, disconnected ways from the larger story of Scripture.
Passages: Psalms 78:5-8 and 2 Timothy 3:15-18
-
Jesus modeled that children are important to God’s heart. We value the safety and security of every child in our church ministry. This means that we are diligent with check-in and check-out procedures, volunteer screening, and access to the kids during the service. We hope that children become curious and learn how to read the Bible on their own.
-
One of the greatest gifts that children bring is their curiosity, joy, and fun. We hope that kids ministry at Friends brings hope and joy to a child's life. Galatians 5:22 - “The fruit of the spirit is joy…”
Service Times
Sundays 9AM | 11AM
We strongly recommend arriving 10 minutes before the start of service so you can park, check in your kiddos, grab some coffee, and find a seat. Services are about 70 minutes long and include worship and an inspiring message from the Bible.
