STUDENT MINISTRY

FOR GRADES 6-12

Helping students live with Jesus, in community, and on mission

Welcome!

BBC Students is a place for every student (grades 6-12) as they encounter Jesus and His church. We want students to know they’re loved and cared for. We want them to see that their identity is in Jesus, not in their snaps, tik toks, or stories. Our goal is simply this: We want students to know Jesus and to follow in Him. Ultimately we want students not just to find a place to belong here at BBC Students; we want them to live with Jesus on a daily basis, in community with their Small Group, and on a mission to unleash a revolution of love in the homes, schools, teams, and wherever they go!

We also have several retreats for students to have fun through engaging games, small group activities, and powerful worship experiences. 

If you have any questions, please contact me.

HUB Hangout

Wednesdays, 3-6pm during the school year

At The HUB (11952 Hancock St., across the parking lot). Doors open @ 3pm.

Join us each Wednesday after school from 3-6pm to hang out, get help with homework, play games, 4 square, fellowship and more.

Concessions available. Punch cards $10.

Wednesday Nights, 6:30-8pm

(During the school year, with some exceptions to be posted.)

At The HUB (11952 Hancock St., across the parking lot). Doors open at 6pm.

Each week we spend our first hour in a large group. During this time, we provide engaging worship, solid biblical teaching, and chances to respond to the Gospel. We connect relevant Scripture with students’ everyday lives and issues, so they can learn how to respond as a follower of Jesus. Students are encouraged to invite friends to join them!

During our second hour, students meet with their small group. Each small group is broken up by gender and grade. These are led by the same adult leader(s) every week, so students have a consistent mentor guiding them in their relationship with Jesus. We don’t want a student to stay anonymous in our ministry, so we surround them with other students and leaders who know their name and their story. Small groups are important because we truly believe that learning and growing together leads to more healthy, Christ-filled lives!

Midweek Easter Series

This month, we are kicking off our new series, “Plot Twist” for Easter. A good plot twist can make us rethink everything we thought we knew, see things in a brand-new light, and get excited about what might happen next. That’s never truer than in the most surprising and significant plot twist in history — Jesus’ death and resurrecEon. Throughout this series, we’ll look at six surprising stories from Jesus’ death, resurrecEon, and last days on earth. These stories will show the students that, when life takes unexpected turns, God gives us help. And even when we’ve messed up or are ready to give up, Jesus never turns away from us, but gives us life, gives us hope, is with us, and gives us another chance.

1. Worship Time

Powerful and engaging worship.

2. Teaching Time

Solid biblical teaching that connects relevant Scripture with students’ everyday lives.

3. Small Group Time

Small groups are broken up by gender and grade.

Resources

SPIRITUAL TRACKER APP

 

This is an app that we are encouraging students to use which helps track their spiritual habits. Our hope is that they will use it all year to grow spiritually alongside their friends, family and small group. Whether it’s prayer, worship, going to church, reading the Bible or loving people with their actions, this app will help them set goals and track their progress. The app is safe for teens to share with people that they trust so they can encourage and celebrate each other when they make progress on their spiritual habits – and in their spiritual growth. If students don’t want to use the app, we have paper trackers available at The HUB too!

RESOURCE OF THE MONTH

Focus Journal

As we focus on spending time with God this quarter, we’ve created a 28-day devotional journal called FOCUS which is designed to be a companion to our Plot Twist series. This journal will give students daily readings and challenges to  help  them “focus  on  what  God  has  said”  for  one  week, “focus on giving  something up” for the next week, “focus on talking to God” for the week after that, and then “focus on rest” for the final week. We hope this will give them some simple, practical ways they can grow in their relationship with God. Make sure your teen(s) has a copy of the Focus Journal and encourage them to take time to go through it each day.  This may be something you would want to work on together.
