Students

During the School Year
Join us Wednesday evenings from 7 pm-8:30 pm as students in grades 6-12 meet with friends and find life-change in Christ.
Each week, teens experience fun and exciting  games, engage in modern worship led by a live band made up of peers,
and Biblical teaching, which addresses the issues teens face.
Students also meet in small groups to explore the Bible and learn how to apply it every day.
We desire to help students grow in their relationship with Jesus at whatever level they are.  
And, of course, we end each week with FOOD!  Find us at 112 N. Wenas in Selah, WA.

Series Overview
This four-week series will help students learn that our role as Christ-followers isn’t necessarily to avoid conflict, it’s to resolve conflict in a healthy, respectful way.
Session 1: What is Reconciliation? 10/23
Big Idea: We can pursue reconciliation, because Jesus pursued us first.
Question for Discussion: How would you know if someone might be open to a conversation about reconciliation? What are some ways to help that conversation go well? What does it look like to be humble in that situation?

Session 2: Live at Peace 10/30
Big Idea: If it is at all possible, live at peace with everybody.
Question for Discussion: What do you think are the top 3 or 4 sources of conflict that someone your age might experience? Why do you think they are so common?

Session 3: Confrontation  11/6
Big Idea: When you need to confront, Jesus shows the way.
Question for Discussion: When you’re having a tough conversation with someone, how difficult is it for you to find a balance between being direct and being kind? Why is it important to find a balance between the two?

Session 4: When All Else Fails  11/13
Big Idea: When all else fails, Jesus is still good!
Question for Discussion: Do you find it difficult to trust God with things that feel hopeless? Why or why not?
Our hope is that the discussion questions provided above might lead your family to a deeper awareness of who God is and what it looks like for us to trust Him in the midst of conflict.

As always, please feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions!
Blessings,

Pastor Darin Brown

Dear parents of youth group kids.  We kicked off our school year of Youth Ministry and I wanted to ask something of you.  We have noticed a trend in our girls towards showing more skin and I would like to ask your help with this.  I met a high school boy at Taco Bell after the first week of school.  One of the questions I asked him was, “Now that you have been in school for a few days, what do you see in the hallways?  Where do you see hope and where do you see hopelessness?”  I was surprised when I heard him talk about how he was disturbed to see how much skin the girls were willing to show at school.  He looked at me in the eyes and repeated, “Darin, it is bad.”
So in an effort to combat the trend away from modesty I am asking for your help in making sure that youth group and church attendance is different.  
Will you help us by making sure our ladies are dressing in ways that are modest?  Starting with shirts that keep the body covered (belly and chest) and shorts that don’t let the backside be on display.  And as always keep an eye on what is printed on the shirts and hats that everyone wears, both the boys and the girls.  If what is printed on them does not line up with scripture go ahead and leave that at home.  
In the great commission, Jesus told his disciples to make more disciples and to teach them to obey the things that Jesus taught.  He did not tell them to blend in to culture by acting or dressing like the culture, but to be disciples of Jesus and to look and act like him.  This is not always easy, but it is essential.
Thank you for your help.  See you later as you drop off your kids for youth group.
