Summer Discipleship Program (4 Wednesdays in July)

What is summer discipleship? It’s totally optional. You don’t have to do it at all, but I think it’s something you will definitely not regret! Let me explain the heart of it for you. Basically this is a 4 week (once per week) commitment of getting together to grow in your relationship with your God. We’ll spend a few hours together getting to know each other and most of all learning to love Jesus the way that He wants us to as shown in the Bible. You’ll have fun! Read the rest of this page and then ask your parents if you can sign up!<< MORE >>

How To Fight Right

I know that none of my students fight, argue or have issues with each other, so I don't know why I'm posting this. But hey - maybe one day you'll be angry at one of your friends. What do you do? I know you naturally want to yell at them, call them names, make fun of them, talk bad bout them to their face or behind their back, you want to complain to your friends about what they are doing, you want revenge... << MORE >>

Missions Team Update: Download the Info Packet

If you are signed up to go on the missions trip and you've handed in your application then you need to download this information packet and go over it with your parents. It has important training dates that are mandatory. It's also time to prayerfully send out some support letters to see if God will provide for your financial costs for the trip. There is a saying that says, "where God guides...God provides!". This letter is only a sample. Download it and edit it. Wherever you see the word "STUDENT NAME" then you should write your name there. It's pretty obvious :)<< MORE >>

Louie Giglio - Indescribable (Video Bible Study From LOCKIN)

VIDEO: Get Excited About Jesus Today

This video is to advertise a conference. We aren't saying go to the conference, but we love the fact that this video shows people getting excited about spending time with Jesus in the Bible, prayer and worship.

Drop whatever you are doing and spend time with your Jesus!!!<< MORE >>

12-year-old steals day with pro-life speech (VIDEO)

Despite facing threats of disqualification, a 12-year-old girl took first place in a speech contest when she eloquently argued for the rights of unborn children – after an offended judge quit. "What if I told you that right now, someone was choosing if you were going to live or die?" the seventh-grader begins in a video recording of her speech on YouTube. "What if I told you that this choice wasn't based on what you could or couldn't do, what you'd done in the past or what you would do in the future? And what if I told you, you could do nothing about it?" << MORE >>

Mike Filomeno's Video on DATING

These are two videos that I think our Jr. High leader Mike Filomeno's uploaded on his view on dating. If the video doesn't look like Mike it's only because he shaved his mustache and got a haircut. But believe it, it's probably could be him - just use your imagination.<< MORE >>

101 Last Day's Prophecies

The Bible foretells many signs that would culminate in the last days. Jesus indicated these signs would arise together as His return drew near (Matthew 24:33-34). Though many of these prophecies won’t climax until the tribulation period, our generation is the first to see every trend in place. As the final seconds of this age tick away, these events will come into even clearer focus. Keep in mind as you read through this list that these prophecies were penned 1900 to 3500 years ago! How does this relate to you? The last several pages provide the answer – you need to read them carefully...<< MORE >>
