We believe that it is vital for every student to be a part of a weekly small group. We call these "D-Groups", with the "D" standing for "Discipleship". Each Wednesday night during the school year, middle and high school students come together to circle up for accountability, Bible study, and true community. This is the time each week where true relationships are built and life-long friendships are begun. Each D-Group is led by at least two adults who help guide the time of growth and accountability. This is also a time of fun where students can catch up with their friends and grow relationally.
D-GROUPS begin at 6:45 PM. Students meet in the SMC each week before splitting up into their specific group.
D-GROUPS are age and gender based, and students grow together through Bible studies that are specific for each age.
Current D-Group Bible Study:
D-GROUP BIBLE STUDY FOR AUGUST 25-SEPTEMBER 22, 2010:
Jesus rattled the status quo as he ministered to people. His words and actions challenged his followers to see the world differently--he challenged them to see the world from God's perspective. This series offers our students a similar challenge. They will be encouraged to evaluate their views of race, status, gender, and religious activity. Jesus shook up his world in all four of these areas and calls us to continue doing the same today.
This study will awaken students to four deep truths about God and their subsequent implications for how teenagers are living.
