electives
(coming soon!)
Jesus Connections In The Bible
Sam Wheeler-Smith
The whole Bible is meant to point us to Jesus, but maybe you’re not exactly sure about how to make those connections. Especially with teenagers. Sam will help us think about how Jesus connects to all of Scripture and why this matters.
Having Hard Conversations
Stuart Hoadley
Part of walking alongside others can also include having hard pastoral conversations. This elective will help us navigate these conversations and prepare our own hearts as we do.
Leading A Small Group
Libby Haswell
Leading teenagers will often include leading a small group. We’ve all been part of groups where this has gone well, and others well, not so much. Libby is going help us make the most of our time together in small groups.
Up Front Skills
Danny Mitchell
This elective is for anyone who would like to be better equipped for leading up front. Whether it is already something you do, or something you would like to try, Danny will help you think through some of the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of being up front.
Leader of Leaders
Andy Stevenson
Andy will be available to catch up with any leader of leaders – those who lead a youth ministry – to discuss leading teams.
