I’m so incredibly excited about our Switch Groups that are taking place throughout the week. I truly believe that small groups are where kids, students, and adults begin to see tremendous growth. This is my highest priority: to get students involved in groups that are filled with students their age and adults that are going to invest in them.
One of the keys to promoting this growth and love for the gospel of Christ is the connection that we make with our students outside of the box of Sunday morning. How can we attend award shows, art exhibits, school lunches, baseball games, plays, soccer matches, etc? When we show up students have this message pressed into their hearts, “They REALLY care about me.” It’s when this message is on the hearts of our students that they really begin to tune into what we are saying.
They don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care. So dust off your datebook and contact list and start planning some events outside the box of Sundays.
Besides casual conversations, what are some ways that you figure out what your students are involved in?
