19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”-Matthew 28:19-20.

2026 The Year to GO!!
This past weekend we gathered together for our GO Training and Acts of Kindness.
We spent Friday Night and Saturday Morning learning tools we can take with us to share our faith boldly! We then went out into our Community of Ridge Manor and performed various Acts of Kindness. The youth did a free car wash, while some others went to the local plaza and passed out gift certificates to the breakfast station and paid for laundry at the laundromat. Others picked up trash along Ridge Manor blvd and served Snow Cones to families at the park. Lastly a few others handed out ice cold water to bikers on the bike trail. We shared the love of Jesus not only by our actions but with our conversations! ♥️ Love God! Love One Another! Love Our Community!

Wednesday Night Recap!

This last Wednesday Night we celebrated Valentine’s Day with pizza and yummy treats! ♥️

Big Idea:

Winning the Battle in Your Mind

Following Jesus means learning to think God’s way, not just going with every thought or feeling.

Romans 12:2
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

The Bible is clear that our thoughts matter. What we think about shapes how we live. The world constantly tries to shape how students think about success, relationships, identity, and truth.

Just because a thought comes into your mind does not mean it is true or from God. Learning to follow Jesus means learning to measure your thoughts against God’s Word.

God changes us from the inside out, and He starts with our minds. When our thinking changes, our choices start to change too.

Philippians 4:8

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

God gives us clear direction on what kinds of thoughts we should focus on.

Wednesday Night Recap!

Kids Club:

47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”- 1 Samuel 17:47

Tonight in kids club we read about David and Goliath. We saw the boldness that faith in God gives us! We too can be bold in our lives because we don’t walk alone, Jesus is with us wherever we go!

Youth Group:

Big Idea:

Boldness is not about being loud or fearless. It is about trusting God enough to live for Him even when it is uncomfortable.

Teach:

Joshua 1:9

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Joshua was stepping into something new and unknown. God did not promise it would be easy, but He did promise He would be with him. The same is true for us. God’s presence gives us courage when we feel unsure.
