We strive to know every student’s name and something about them as soon as they start attending. We want every student to be known by both their leaders and by other students.
We define loved as an “open invitation,” so the goal is to know a student well and consistently until they know that they are loved and extend an open invitation to be part of their lives. This looks like going to games/activities outside of church and connecting conversationally on a deeper level.
This is when a student has come to a point spiritually where they are ready to “count the cost” of following Jesus and learn to “abide” in Him. We want to walk them through that process, and that process is what we call discipleship!
Discipleship is “complete” when the student begins to live on mission, seeking to “Know, Love, and Disciple” their peers. We are all a part of the Great Commission, and this is how we lead our students in and through it!
