The TOGETHER curriculum is suitable for those who live with special needs and those who don’t. And the best part is you don’t have to split these students up, as is so often the case in the teen and early adult years. Neat, eh?
Dig is a summer program that helps youth uncover their future by exploring their callings while enriching and deepening their faith. This $4000 program will only cost $500.
I have hope that God is still working in my child’s life, even when she doesn’t recognize it. I have hope that God will continue to walk alongside her parents in those times when her absence at university is felt deeply.
World Renew has launched Operation Ruby Slipper, a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign to encourage teens and young adults to take action and help hurricane survivors get back home. Register a team today!
Did you listen to Pastor Mary's talk on the topic of millennials and the church yesterday? What were some of your top takeaways?
I'm looking for study materials for a young adult (post-high/college age) group that is newly forming at Wayland CRC. I'd also love to hear how churches are connecting with young adults. Any suggestions?
Our first unofficial week of camp brought together IMPACT Club members from Armenia, Albania, Moldova, and Romania. IMPACT Clubs work to create positive change in their own communities through service.
The hope is that the environment of a microbrewery and a community of equally inquisitive young adults will attract some of those people who wouldn’t normally attend a meeting affiliated with the church.
I'd like to propose a question: Can a one-week experience actually change the trajectory of a young person's life toward Christ?
For the last several years, groups of young people from several of the local schools have blessed the CRC staff at "1700" with music of the Advent and Christmas season!
Do illnesses, failed classes, divorces, cruel bosses, or financial ruin seem like giving us a hope and a future? There are times when God’s promises feel more like lies than truth.
We are living in a cultural season in which a kind of “stand alone authenticity” is celebrated and encouraged everywhere. It’s a false idol that needs to be discerned, named and rejected.
If there is one thing running rampant in this culture it is negativity. People are more anxious and fearful than ever. In the midst of all of this, I have one statement to make: I choose hope!
A friend and colleague recently noticed that the faith and campus life resources I shared were all written by men. Thankful for her observation, I want to share some great resources written by women.
Is signing up for a service project because my friends did still a good action? Is giving to a good cause still good if it’s out of guilt? Is it even possible to be a "good Christian?"
The busyness and complexities of college may make being truly involved in a church difficult or unappealing for some, but there are still simple things a church can do to encourage and affirm students.
As we send off our students, it's a great time to talk about what makes a good church and about the importance of being part of a worshipping community, even if it will be temporary.
Do you long to see teens and young adults more solidly connected to your church? Are you a preacher or do you belong to a church that has a preacher? If so, I invite you to take the “Preaching Tag-team Challenge.”
For most people the idea of being interviewed by the church council is somewhere on the spectrum between anxiety-producing and utterly terrifying. Here are a few ways to make the interview a more joyful, life-giving process.
Momentum is designed for young adults who are looking for intentional discipleship as well as an opportunity to serve for a month internationally with Christian Reformed World Missions.
Has anyone come across resources or study materials on hermeneutics? I am interested in starting a series with my high school students and would appreciate any ideas.
Growing up as a missionary kid, I observed and helped host many short-term mission teams. From this experience I learned a few things about being well prepared, which I want to share with you!
Contextualization is not just the stuff of foreign missions. It affects how high-school age students think about living out the Gospel in the local context.
It is hard not to be involved in a conversation these days about young adults or campus ministry without hearing the question “how do we keep our young adults in the church?”
Frodo commits to the task saying, “I will take the ring to Mordor. Though, I do not know the way.” Is this a good parallel to profession of faith?
