THRIVE YOUTH GROUP
YOU WEREN’T CREATED TO JUST GET THROUGH LIFE.
YOU WERE CREATED TO THRIVE.
Grades 7–12 | Wednesdays | 6:00–8:00 PM | October–May
“Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith...” Colossians 2:6–7
Our goal is to help students move beyond simply hearing about faith and begin asking important questions for themselves: What do I believe? • Why do I believe it? • Is it actually true? • What difference should it make in my life?
THRIVE is designed to be a safe, respectful, welcoming environment where students can ask questions, have meaningful conversations, explore Scripture, build relationships, and take ownership of their spiritual growth.
This is more than just a place to hang out on Wednesday nights. It is a place to belong, build friendships, ask honest questions, open God’s Word, grow in faith, and discover how following Jesus connects to real life.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THRIVE?
FRIENDS • GAMES • WORSHIP • GOD’S WORD • VIDEO STUDIES • REAL CONVERSATIONS • SNACKS • PRAYER • THRIVE CHALLENGES • FUN
Students are encouraged to bring their Bible, engage with the study materials, ask questions, participate in discussions, and think deeply about what they are learning.
INVESTIGATING OUR FAITH
THE CASE FOR CHRIST
This year, we will work through Lee Strobel’s The Case for Christ video study.
Strobel approached Christianity as an investigative journalist, examining historical evidence and asking difficult questions about Jesus, the Bible, the resurrection, faith, and truth. We will not simply watch a video. Students will be challenged to: TAKE NOTES • LOOK THINGS UP • ASK QUESTIONS • OPEN THE BIBLE • THINK DEEPLY • DISCUSS • PRAY • LIVE IT OUT
OUR MONTHLY RHYTHM
CASE STUDY NIGHTS: Most months include three Wednesdays focused on Bible study and our Lee Strobel case studies. Students will dig into Scripture, examine evidence, discuss what they are discovering, and consider how what they believe should affect the way they live.
THRIVE NIGHTS: The final Wednesday of most months is designed for something different! THRIVE Nights may include: GAMES • GUEST SPEAKERS • Q&A • HOLIDAY EVENTS • CRAFTS • BONFIRES • FELLOWSHIP • SPECIAL ACTIVITIES
