Is this normal? Am I the only one who struggles with this? These are some of the questions that I hear from our students on a weekly basis. Students want to ask questions, learn how the world works, discover who Christ is and learn who they really are. The best way to help them along this process is by our Life Groups ministry.
The idea is simple but the results are amazing. Students form groups with five or so of their friends and are assigned an adult leader to help guide the group. All groups will be made up of the same gender and will be lead by an adult of the same gender. So, guys will be lead by guys and girls will be lead by girls. These groups will meet every Thursday night for eight weeks.
The time in groups is designed for students to develop and grow in their relationship with God, and with each other. They will do this by studying scripture together, asking questions about the nights message and teaching series, and praying for one another.
In a time where schedules are double booked, students are buried under a mountain of homework and everyone is so busy its crucial to set aside time to slow down, laugh with friends and reconnect with God.
My prayer is that every high school student will be involved in a life group and these groups will equip them to thrive in their high school years.
