Monthly Newsletter (October 2018)

October marks the half way point of our first ever Crew student challenge, the CHI RHO Challenge. Our challenge's theme is Agents of Crew. Students are learning all about identity, calling and mission through fun secret agent themed lessons, individual challenges, team challenges and costume challenges. This is not only be an incredible time of learning, growing and relationship building for our students, but is a great evangelistic opportunity for our students to participate in our LOVE series and invite their friends.

Project 12 is a new extension of our youth ministry. In conjunction with ICCM (International Child Care Ministries), Project 12 allows our students to Connect to Action in a meaningful way!

OUR GOAL:To provide 1200 $ .12 meals and twelve $50 water filters to children and families in Burundi, Africa through Snack Bar sales and recycling.

Does your student play an instrument?

OUR VISION for Students:

Our vision for Crew students is for them to fully grasp their identity as God's beloved child, connected in the family of God called Church. Our services, events, small groups, and student gatherings will be aimed at embracing each student for who they are, empowering them with the transformative grace of the Gospel, equipping them to understand their identity and calling, and embarking with them as they walk in God's love for God's glory.

OUR VISION for Families:
Our vision for Crew families is to see parents and children come together to build lasting supportive and encouraging relationships through our services and events. We long to see parents connecting in service and support to the ministry, in small groups, and in prayer for their students to continue in connection with Christ, the Church, and their calling.

Same Great MISSION:
Crew Student Ministry (9th-12th grade) exists to connect students and their families to God, others, growth, and action. We do this through embracing, empowering, equipping, and embarking with families in God's love and for God's glory.
