Students Ministry

My (Caleb’s) Heart for Student Ministry

Growing up in Student Ministry, we played a lot of games did alot of things that didn’t really connect spiritually in any way. Having that in my background, as well as doing Student Ministry for over a decade, I have formed a philosophy of ministry that shapes what we do on Wednesdays. I want to share a little of that with you. Essentially, Why does Trinity Student Ministry do what we do?

The church has limited time with students:

• 52 Sundays a year
• 1 hour per midweek
• 1 hour per sunday morning bible study

If the most faithful kids comes 75% of time, then that’s 117 hours per year

That’s best case scenario! Our time discipling these students is too precious to waste!!

That is why we take MidWeeks and Sunday Morning seriously. That is why we generally don’t play games in service except at events. That is why we go wild before and after service, but spend time studying the word in depth in service. That is why we want to minimize distractions in service with modesty and behavior. That is why we study the bible and nothing else!

In the coming days, I’ll be sharing some plans for discipline in service that we will be implementing. We recently had some behavior issues in service, and want to disciple kids to take it serisouly and make the most out the worship time!

Student MidWeek 10/8 (Testimonies)

The doors for MidWeek open at 5pm, service is from 6-7. This week we will have students share their testimonies! If your student is sharing, you are welcome to come and watch. I’m so excited for God to use the stories of our students to influence others for the Kingdom!

Sunday’s Teaching 10/12

This week we are looking at Colossians 1:24-29. I will be out on vacation, so one of our small group leaders, Daxton Everage will be teaching the lesson. Here are the small group questions if you’d like to take a look at them: Colossians 1:24-29 Small Group Q’s

Junior/Senior Homegroups

Every week we have Junior and Senior homegroups from 5-7pm. No registration is needed and it’s open to all 11th/12th girls and boys. This is a great way to get plugged into the Student Ministry. Message Kyla for this week’s address.

Modesty in the Student Ministry

The Student Ministry team and I have been prayerfully considering how to guide our girls in the area of modesty. Recently, we’ve noticed more students attending MidWeek and events in very short shorts (girls & guys) or open back tops.

Because we want our students to be set apart from the world and to avoid being a stumbling block to others; we see this as an important discipleship opportunity. Our desire is not to shame but to shepherd our young ladies and guys to reflect Christ in how they present themselves.

We’d love for you to join us in this effort by having intentional conversations with your kids about modesty and encouraging them to dress in a way that honors God at MidWeek, student events, and beyond. Together, we can help our students be an example of modesty to their peers and the culture around them.
