What We're Doing in Club

It is our goal to dedicate a portion of every Regular Meeting to Bible study. Although the method of study may vary--games, activities, discussions, hands-on object lessons, audio or video presentations, worksheets, devotions, devotional series, Bible exploration, traditional Bible lessons, etc.--these methods all share the common goal of enlightening, educating, and enriching your child. The amount of time dedicated to Bible study may vary from meeting to meeting, and on rare occasions, the entire Regular Meeting may have to be dedicated to another activity, such as preparing for or participating in a mission project. But our goal is to provide your young person with frequent opportunities for learning and Spritiual growth, while also promoting Christian fellowship and involvement in the church and local community.

At the Junior High level, we will approach Bible study somewhat differently than it is approached in the younger clubs. We will "go deeper" into traditional Bible stories, uncovering some surprising aspects that may not have been apparent. We will focus more on application, teaching youth how to apply Biblical principles to their daily lives.

The purpose of the table below is to, as best as possible, keep you informed about some of the topics that we study in club, so that you can better discuss and reinforce these issues at home. Please note that this is not a complete list of all topics and issues discussed. Many more topics are typically brought up during the course of a Youth Group meeting, often during the dynamic group and interpersonal discussions that occur. In the Alpha Youth Group, we strive to teach your child both by word and by example, and to use the relationships we build with your child to be positive influences in their lives.
