Youth Group Rhythm 2012

Here is a quick synopsis of how our Youth Group will function for the remainder of 2011 and 2012. For more details on what each element is, scroll down this page for a full description.  

9:30am - 10:45am in the Forum.

NFCU is our Sunday school program.

All students start out in grade-specific homerooms at 9:30am. Here, the homeroom leader takes attendance, checks in with their students, and prays for any prayer requests. Each homeroom leaders stays with their students as they change grade levels. So a homeroom leader will journey with their students from their freshman year until they graduate. Jr. Highers have their own homeroom. After homerooms, at 9:30am, students break out to the class of their choosing.  

Life Groups are a vital part of our ministry at NFCSM. LTGs are designed to enhance peer-to-peer accountability, faith discussions, and fun! They are gender and age specific and meet in leaders' homes at 6pm on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Sundays of each month. The 3rd Sunday of each month is set aside for The Expression, which is a service in the Forum for everyone who is in a small group. It is a chance for our small groups to see and be a part of the bigger picture of God's Movement in our community.

The Hub [Formerly known at 5-n-1 or Expression 5.1] is our youth worship gathering. Typically, we will meet together and worship the Lord through songs, testimonies, sermons, and maybe even a game. Starting in 2012, during the school year, this service will become our corporate gathering for Jr. and Sr. Highers on Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:45pm. During the summer months, this service will move to Sunday mornings.

6:30pm - 7:45pm in Y5. What if...? is a Wednesday night  gathering for Sr. High students during the summer months. It is designed to be interactive conversations about relevant topics surrounding our culture. It's goal is to get students thinking about living counter-culturally while still being apart of their respective communities, thus living out Jesus' command to be in the world, not of the world.

6:30pm - 7:45pm in the Forum. Join us every Wednesday evening in the summer months for a service specially planned for our Jr. Highers by our college interns and high school leaders, Uproot is a fun, exciting, fast-paced time of games, messages, worship, and getting to know each other.
