James

I Believe

JESUS’ FAREWELL MESSAGE
LEADER: LARRY ELIAS
LENGTH: 6 WEEKS
It’s one thing to know facts about Jesus, but to experience His love, wisdom, and guidance in your life is what it means to follow Him. On the night before He was crucified, Jesus invited His disciples into a deep relationship with the triune God—and His invitation stands for you too. Come and hear Jesus’ farewell message as recorded in John 13–17.
MENS BIBLE STUDY
LEADER: MATT LINTELL
LENGTH: 6 WEEKS
It’s likely you have a giant in your life. It’s holding you captive, intimidating you with its taunts, and stealing your joy. Adversaries such as fear, anger, addiction, and others can stake a claim and, before you know it, gain a foothold in your heart. Taking a closer look at the story of David and Goliath, learn how to focus on the size of our God, and not the height of your giants.

Nursery
KATHERINE RUDER & SKYLAR LAPPE
We have nursery care in a fun environment for infants and toddlers ages 0-36 months old.
Children
DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN & FAMILY: BETHANY WERNER
For children three years old through 5th grade. The focus of Children’s Ministry is being inspired by the Old and New Testament stories of God’s Word. Through age-appropriate study of the Bible, children are growing in love for God and the timeless truth of His Word. We’ll also have special events to equip parents to serve as the primary influencers (faith sharers and shapers) in the lives of their children.

Middle School
DIRECTOR OF YOUTH: Marty Hein
6th grade through 8th grade
Confirmation plays a key role in the faith development of Middle School Ministry. While 6th and 7th graders study the Small Catechism, 8th graders study the Gospel of John. Each confirmand is invited into a deeper and more personal interaction of God’s Word, while at the same time being challenged to confirm the timeless truth of Scripture as it relates to their world. Parents are also invited to be a part of their child’s faith journey, serving as small group leaders, as well as being encouraged and equipped to grow in their relationship with their sons and daughters as they begin to navigate adolescence.
High School
DIRECTOR OF YOUTH: Marty Hein
9th grade through 12th grade
Through study of God’s Word, the hope is that High School youth are learning to connect the timeless truth of God’s Word to daily life. While being provided opportunities to put into practice their God-given gifts and abilities through acts of service, youth are being equipped as disciple makers. Parents during this time are also being equipped to come alongside their sons and daughters to further guide them in discovering their identity in Christ and future callings.
