1. Prayer

Concerted prayer gives power, not good planning. We will devote ourselves to creating a team of prayer warriors that will lift up students, parents, and the community to God asking for renewal and revival.

Potential Audience: ALL YOUTH
Primary Purpose: MINISTRY, WORSHIP

2. Family Devotions and Parent Ministry (primary)

Since parents are the primary influencer of their teenager's life, we will equip parents with simple, easy to use devotionals to be used once or twice a week to bring the family together under the authority of God. For students whose parent(s) are unable or unwilling to do devotions we hope for families to invite those students into their homes for family devotions 6 to 12 times a year. See heartconnex.org for details.

Potential Audience: CONGREGATION, COMMITTED, CORE
Primary Purpose: FELLOWSHIP, DISCIPLESHIP, WORSHIP

3. Mission Projects/Trips (primary)

Our students will regularly be challenged with stepping outside of their comfort zone and joining Christ in His kingdom purposes. 7th -12th grade will regularly be planning and positioning themselves for outreach and mission. In reality, this is where students have the most fun and feel a sense of purpose. Students long for adventure and accomplishment.

Step 3: Tell your friend why you're a Christian.
