HELPING STUDENTS CONNECT WITH JESUS

We want to help students connect to Jesus! In order to stay connected to Jesus long-term, we believe there are three things that help.

The first is the example a primary caregiver given. That’s why we want to invite everyone connect with Jesus through worship, community and serving. Check out the following link:

The second is another adult who invests in the student and models how they live out their faith. That’s why a mentoring relationship is a part of our confirmation program. Learn more here:

The third and final piece is serving. Youth programming does not occur during the service on Sundays. Instead, we hope to create space for students to be full participants in the church body. They serve in kids’ ministry, volunteer on the tech or host team with members of our church of all ages. More information on Sundays here:

SUNDAY MORNING

Like adults, students need safe places to ask questions, wrestle with difficult ideas and to have fun with their friends. We partner with Crossview Covenant Church for Wednesday Night youth programming. Check out youth group information here:

YOUTH GROUP

We want to help our students connect to Jesus! Sadly, many studies indicate that more and more youth are leaving the church. We want to invest in students so that they stay connected to Jesus forever.

We believe there are three things that help students do that. The first is the example a primary caregiver sets. That’s why we want to invite everyone connect with Jesus through worship, community and serving. Check out the following link:

CONFIRMATION

Confirmation is a tradition to explore God’s Word and the importance of living a Christian life. A major focus for a young teenager is learning to think for oneself and develop their own identity. Confirmation is at the cusp of this stage of life. The goal of Confirmation is for students to learn, reflect, and affirm their faith. We also hope they recognize that following Jesus is a lifelong journey. Confirmation is not the end. Instead, it is the beginning of a relationship with Jesus. At Community, confirmation is meant to propel students into the next step of their faith journey.

We value confirmation as an opportunity for students in 6th-11th grade. It is an intentional two years of discipleship covering both the Old and New Testament (one per year.). It also consists of five key components (see below). Students are welcome to join at any time and can be confirmed after they complete the following:

Attendance at weekly class;
Reading through and discussing the big picture of God’s story twice a month with a mentor;
Participation in our confirmation retreats;
Serving at church and in our community with others in your class, and
Completing a small paper and pastoral interview about your confirmation experience.

Confirmation meets at 8:30-11:30am during the school year. Confirmation Sunday is celebrated during the last Sunday in April.
