What is FUEL?

FUEL is our midweek gathering for students to get re-energized with worship, biblical teaching, and encouragement from friends. We usually have a certain series of messages/discussions that covers several weeks at a time. All topics, though, tend to fall within the realm of these seven objectives for spiritual growth.

1. Authentic Faith - That students’ faith in Christ would be genuine.
2. Biblical Morals & Purity - That students’ sense of morality would biblically based.
3. Spiritual Disciplines - That students would embrace and practice good spiritual habits.
4. Healthy Relationships - That students would develop and maintain edifying friendships.
5. Wisdom in Decision Making - That students would learn to use wisdom in decision-making.
6. Selflessness in Service - That students would reach out to serve and minister to others.
7. Respect for God’s Authority - That students would honor God-created roles of authority.

  MERGE: Friends for Life

  (Small Groups during FUEL)

We work hard to help students develop encouraging, healthy friendships with other Christians in Student Life; to help them MERGE their lives with others to know and be known. Our small groups network becomes especially important as the size of our youth group continues to grow. Every student is cared for by a loving, committed adult–our small group leaders.

On Wednesday nights, each small group is generally formed according to grade and gender, especially for middle school students. Some of our grades have multiple groups simply to keep their experience personal and intimate. At the High School level, we sometimes MERGE grades and genders at various times for different purposes.

We are currently working on providing one-on-one mentoring possibilities for students to participate in.
