Connection
SWITCH is a Student Ministry NOT
a youth group. Which means, everything
we do we do with the Small Group in mind.
Our ultimate goal in SWITCH is for
students to be talking about their faith with
a trusted adult and their friends. We have
3 core Values that make up the foundation
of SWITCH: ATTEND, BELONG and
SERVE.
We want the student to ATTEND a
relevant environment, BELONG to an
authentic small group and SERVE an
awesome God. We want the student to
develop mentally, spiritually, and
emotionally, into a fully functioning part of
the body of Christ. This is done through
creating an environment that is culturally
relevant, that partners with the parent in
discussing many of the issues teenagers
face, and gives Biblical insight on those
issues. The primary tool we use to
partner with the parent is The Seven
Checkpoints, by Andy Stanley and Stuart
Hall. These seven checkpoints make up
the foundational principles that were
developed to be the irreducible minimum
every teenager needs to know.
NEXT WEEK: ALLmost: Mind
Games
Week two o f this series will
focus on loving God with all of our
minds. The “Bottom Line” for this week
is: “In order to truly love God with all of
our minds, we have to erase the
distractions in life and replace them with
God’s truth.”
This will be a powerful session
because o f all the distraction we face on
a daily basis.
