PARENT ORIENTATION 2010/11

Last weekend we had an info meeting about student ministries after second service.

In it, we discussed 5 main things for parents of middle school and high school students:

• Our philosophy of ministry and why we do what we do.
• Our weekend plans for teaching.
• Our small group structure and how to get you or your student involved.
• Our events that are planned for this year with estimated costs so your students can be fully involved and you can budget time and money for your family.
• Ways you can serve in our ministry.

In case you missed it, you can download the document we passed out and discussed with the above data in it here.  

Let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.
