Student Ministry – September 2026

Sep '26
What an exciting new season! Sports are starting to kick off, Promotion Sunday has brought an amazing group of 6th graders into Student Ministry, and I’m so excited to begin serving as Youth Minister with our families here at TBCK! Each time I’ve met one of our youth, I’ve been so excited and impressed, what a blessing to serve and do life alongside these souls that God loves.
As small groups are starting up this fall, there will be a little adjustment from previous circles. Now all small groups will be meeting on Sunday morning at the 11am hour. This is a great time for all youth to lean into relationship, God’s word, and prayer. Wednesday nights will be large group gatherings for 6th through 12th graders at 5:30pm in the youth space. This will be an interactive time of fun, study, and joining together to lead in to what God has for us in this season. With school kicking off, it’s a great time for every family to incorporate these rhythms into their regular weekly schedule. The rhythms we stick with are the ones that shape us!
With this new season, I’m continuing to look at how our youth can join in and share the ministry. This could be through things such as reading scripture and praying on Wednesday nights, helping host a game, or many other opportunities that are coming up. If your youth is interested in learning more about serving, let us know and we would love to connect with them.
This past week I’ve been thinking about Jesus’ habit of withdrawing from the growing crowds to spend time with the Father (Luke 5:16). How true it is that there is nothing done for God that will last if it is not done with God. He is the source of life, and service flows from a heart filled first by His energy, His heart, and His fruit. As you think of our students, please be in prayer that they would not just know about God, but that they would know Him personally.
