We exist to lay a lifelong biblical foundation that is centered on Christ. We envision that teens would be genuine worshippers of God who love Jesus, his bride and their neighbor. We are committed to coming alongside parents since they are the main disciplers of their teens.
The Word of God is central in all that we do and say. We believe in the authority and sufficiency of Scripture. We, like Paul, ask the question, “What does the Scripture say?” The Bible is more than enough and all of Scripture is about Jesus (Luke 24:27 & John 5:39).
Partnering with Parents is key in discipleship of teenagers. The Bible commands that parents are to raise their children in the way of the Lord, so the church’s role is to come alongside parents to help them to do that. Our desire is to equip parents with resources to grow in their discipleship of their own teenagers.
When do we meet and what’s involved?
Sunday Mornings
Middle school and high school at 9:00am or 10:45am
Corporate worship (our worship service) is the primary means of grace that God uses to strengthen his church. In it we pray, sing, sit under the preaching of the word and see the word (baptism and the Lord’s Supper). This is important for Christians and I encourage you as a family to make that a priority above all else.
Before or after our worship services teens are invited to our Sunday morning Bible studies. These are at the same time as our services (9 am and 10:45 am) and take place in the Student Ministry Center. Your teen can either go to Sunday school and then you can worship as a family or you can worship as a family and then your teen can go to Sunday school. During this time both middle schoolers and high schoolers (meeting separately), will be going through the end of Jesus’s life on earth, his death, his resurrection and the birth of the early church. We utilize The Gospel Project, which is a curriculum that shows us how all of Scripture is about Jesus.
Sunday Evenings
Ignite (Middle School 6-8th grade) 5:15-6:45pm
Our key verse is Philippians 1:6, “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Some middle schoolers have been brought up in the church, while others have not. Either way we want them to grow in their understanding of Jesus, trust him and know that God will complete the work in their own heart.
We play games together, sing together, hear from the Word and break into small groups. In our small groups we further discuss the passage for the night and talk through how it applies to our lives. For middle schoolers we are going through the gospel of John.
Sunday Evenings
Rooted (High School 9-12th grade) 7-8:30pm
Our key verse is Colossians 2:7, “rooted and built up in him (Jesus) and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” In the midst of all that teens are hearing and consuming for the world, we want them to grow deeper in their faith so that nothing can lead them astray from the truth.
We play games together, sing together, hear from the Word and break into small groups. In our small groups we further discuss the passage for the night and talk through how it applies to our lives. For high schoolers we are going through the letter to the Romans.
We also have several other fun events and service projects that we do throughout the year.
All of our youth leaders have undergone a thorough background check and receive training on the discipleship of teenagers.
If you are a parent and would like to receive our weekly newsletter, please send an email to Pastor Dwayne.
You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram to receive updates.
The Student Union
The Student Union (TSU) is our space for students to hang out in downtown Cedarburg, located next to the Cedarburg Cultural Center. With regular youth-friendly events (i.e. art gallery nights, open mic nights, etc.), a coffee shop, and lots of tables to study, talk, or play games, TSU is the place to be.
You can check it out at http://www.thestudentu.org/
(For those families who also have younger children attending AWANA on Wednesday nights, TSU is a great place for your middle or high school students to hang out while the rest of the family attends evening activities at Alliance.)
