One of the biggest questions we can have in this life is “what am I here for?”. While God has called us to be different parts of the body, accomplishing different parts of His will, there are somethings that we have all been created to do. In this short three week series we will talk about what it means to have been created to love, worship and serve.

Come and join us as we explore some of the basic reasons we are here on this earth.

  1. February 14 – Created to Love
  2. February 21 – Created to Worship
  3. February 28 – Created to Serve

Fall Teaching Series

September 4th, 2009 | Posted in OLD EVENTS | No Comments

10commandments

This fall we will spend 10 weeks working our way through the the 10 Commandments. Today there are way too many people have no moral framework. Christians cheat, steal, cuss, drink and have sex outside of marriage just as much as the rest of the world.

Our goal is to help each student to understand the God is the creator and judge of what is morally right and point out how each of these commands impact our relationships with either God or other people.

We will be learning about each commandment on Sunday nights and then discussing them on Wednesday nights in our small groups. We are recording the lessons so you can hear them if you happen to miss youth group on Sunday, and you can download the “homework” for you small group study from this site as well. Just click here to go to the download section.
