 Students (7th – 12th grade) are a high priority at Warrenton Christian Church. We want to help students understand Jesus Christ in a real and authentic way. We understand the best way for this to happen is with parent involvement. This means that we not only desire to help students grow and mature in their faith, but we also desire to help parents grow and mature in their faith.
These are the top five things that parents and students need to know about Student Ministries. For more information about these events, how to get involved (both as a parent and student) contact Mike Packer or Suzanne Corliss.
#1 True Love Waits In a world filled with pornography, sexual innuendo, and alternative lifestyles, how can a student hope to keep pure in body and mind? On Sunday nights, we have begun teaching students about living pure inside out. At the end of these five lessons students will be asked to make a commitment to remain sexually abstinent until marriage. We understand that parents still have the most influence in a student’s life. Because of this, lesson points and discussion starters will be available in order to keep the conversation going at home.
#2 March 28th On March 28th, we will have a special Children’s Ministry meeting. We will come together to discuss the vision of the Warrenton Christian Church Children’s Ministry, identify key objectives of Children’s Ministry, take suggestions and ideas, and form a team who will commit to work together for a specified time as we develop a workable plan to achieve those goals. I hope that you will plan on joining us on this very special time. Lunch will be provided. RSVPs are appreciated but not required…
Parents of junior high and high school students are encouraged to attend this meeting as well. Our hope is that this will serve as a spring board in helping our Student Ministry as well.
