Refuge: a place of shelter, retreat, and/or protection; a stronghold and safe haven.
It is our heart and goal that Refuge will be the place where Junior High students will not only connect with God and one another, but also be equipped to advance God's kingdom by making His name known. Refuge is a large group gathering on Wednesday nights that involves worship, games, teaching, and fun.
Discipleship Groups (or D-Groups) are definitely where it's at! Each group consists of a group of Junior High Students, paired up with a few adult leaders, who will meet weekly throughout the school year. The purpose behind each D-Group is to help our students build genuine relationships that last. They will all laugh and have fun together, pray and study the Bible together, as will as encourage and challenge one another! Groups generally meet on Sunday nights, with meeting times being flexible based on the needs of each particular group.
Core: the central, most essential part of any element
Fun and interactive classes guiding Junior High students through the Bible in 2 years. There is a 7th/8th grade class as well as a 6th grade class offered during our 2nd service.
At the Core of our Student Ministries at Christ's Church, our heart and goal is to teach students that encountering God through His word is absolutely possible. Each week we have a time of worship to begin our day, and then we break off into our Core Classes for concentrated studies.
Throughout the year, we will be offering special events that will not be anything like the regular Sunday mornings or Wednesday nights. They will consist of Bowling Nights, Movie Nights, Concert Nights, Special Retreats, Costume Party, Christmas Extravaganza, Lock-ins, Local Service Projects, Video Game Tournaments, Fall Kick-Off, Know Sweat, Believe, etc.
