Main Event Home Discussions

For each new series we teach on Sunday nights, we will post an overview of what we’re talking about each week. Listed below the summary is a “parent cue” to help you dialog with your child about the session. The question is intended not just to be asked by you, but to be responded to by BOTH of you. Use this opportunity to find out what God is teaching your child, and allow your child to see what God is teaching you as well.

Parent Que Mobile

We believe that a natural, spur of the moment conversation such as a car ride home can have as much impact as any teaching we can provide. That's why we're offering the Parent Que Mobile. Sign up below to receive a conversation starter each week following the Sunday Night Main Event.

 

 


Calendar

We strive to keep our calendar as up-to-date as possible because we believe it is terribly important for you as a parent to be informed on what's going on with your child's youth group. For each item on our calendar, you can click to see more details. For instance, we post all of the scriptures and summaries for each Sunday School lesson right there on the calendar. You can ask how Sunday School went (and get the obligatory "fine") or you can ask your child what they learned about God's love in the Gospel of John this morning. Boom!

 

Volunteer

It's terribly important for adults to be involved in the lives of young pepole, ESPECIALLY when it comes to spiritual growth. Student Ministry could use your help in a number of different areas. Click here for a brochure [PDF] AND learn how you can get even more involved.
