WELCOME TO Emerge Student Ministries
Emerge Student Ministries (ESM) is the student (6th grade and up) ministry program at Connections Church.
Excuses are the cornerstone for students who avoid church.
Irrelevant.
Repetitive. Dull. Could it be that these are valid concerns?
Relevancy is
important. Unhealthy repetition is damaging. Dullness is…well…dull.
Connections Church is well aware of the countless excuses lurking
around
present-day teenagers, and ESM is committed to providing the
solution
– excitement.
Comparable to all ministries at Connections Church, ESM is
outfitted
to helping all students encounter God’s purpose and mission for
their lives,
providing the essentials for becoming devoted and active followers
of Jesus
Christ.
Heard that before?
ESM is working hard to make a wide variety of experiences
available to students. Activities that are stared are already
functioning regularly.
* Sunday Morning Hangout (SMH) is church for teenagers on Sunday
morning.
While the adults are gathered together during Sunday morning
worship,
students gather for a separate worship service designed specifically
for
them. Each SMH biblical message will relate directly to the
approaching
mid-week Teen Worship Service (see below).
* exTREME OUTINGS occur every six weeks, depending on
scheduled events.
Outings provide the opportunity for students to connect outside
of regular
weekly activities. Excitement is never lacking…ever. Check out
the list of
activities scheduled to occur:
- - Bowling Bash - - Paintball
- - Gym Night
- - Overnight Camping Trip
- - Indoor Rock Climbing - - Ice Skating
Teen Worship Service (TWS) is a weekly opportunity for students to
come
together for worship in a comfortable, teen-relevant environment.
Students
will explore God’s Truth through practical and meaningful teaching,
current
music, and media ministries.
NIGHT LIFE Café is the Friday night hangout
for students. Whether lounging
around three wide-screen televisions screening
music videos, stomping the Dance
Dance Revolution floor pad, challenging your
friend at Guitar Hero or just hanging out
talking with friends, NIGHT LIFE Café is the
thriving alternative to mainstream options.
 Winter
Retreat is an annual opportunity for students to
refocus on God.
Culture is distracting. Life is demanding. Everyone needs to
retreat.
WINTER SUMMIT is designed for students who desire to connect deeper
with God in
an environment that is opposite to the distractions and demands of
life.
Destination: meaningful worship and spiritual renewal. Students will
also
participate in various indoor and outdoor activities:
- - Snowman Contest - - Downhill Tobogganing
- - Snowboarding - - Free-Style Talent
Showdown
- - Campfire Caroling - - Capture The Cold Flag
Come embrace the bliss of frosty flakes of snow and discover the
life-changing encounter of WINTER SUMMIT. Contact Pastor Shawn for
further
details..
We at Connections Church and ESM want to do everything
possible to
welcome newcomers and answer any questions you may have. Hopefully
you will
decide to come and experience the exciting journey at
Connections Church and discover for yourself the incredible ways God
is
moving here. We look forward to serving you.
Blessings,
Shawn Cooper, Pastor
