Our students are at a pivotal place in their lives where their faith is starting to become their own. Our Student Ministry Volunteers aim to mentor and disciple our students as we guide them in this process.
We aim to challenge our students towards deeper growth in their relationship with Jesus and others that results in changed lives, joyful obedience, service to the church, and outward missions.
SUNDAY MORNINGS
Student Life Group
On Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hour, students will meet in the 5:11 Room to fellowship and discuss their weeks. This is a time when they can be open about the real things going on in their lives and ask questions in a safe place. We help encourage each other, go to Scripture together, and pray for each other. Donuts are usually involved. Student Life Group runs from September through May.
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
Family Meal (5:15 pm)
Every Wednesday evening before Youth Group gets underway we share a family meal together in the gym located in our Community Life Center. Bring the whole family and take the night off from having to prepare dinner. Our Family Meal is a great way to meet other families and to get connected at E-Free Bemidji.
Youth Group (6:00-7:45 pm)
Wednesday night youth group is a time when students can gather together for fun, fellowship, worship, and learning about Jesus. Youth group is for students in 6th grade through 12th grade. We start with announcements of upcoming events and lead into worship with our student-led band. We then split Middle and High school. High school will go play a game together while Middle school stays in the youth room and hears a message from Pastor Douglas directed towards them. Then, High school comes in to hear the same message, but geared towards an older audience while Middle school goes to small groups based on gender and grade and discusses what they just heard. Middle school will then end with a game time while High schoolers go off to their small groups.
