The goal of our Student Ministry at Cross Timbers Baptist Church is to walk alongside students and their families and reveal to them the supremacy of Christ in their lives. This happens by showing them who God is and His importance in our lives, teaching them what it means to rely on God and obey Him, and sharing God’s Word with those who are lost.
On Sunday Mornings we take the time to understand how passages in the Bible apply to us today and how we can learn from them. Currently, we are walking through the Youth Bible Study Roadmap from RightNow Media. It includes a 10-minute video and a guided discussion following. We go between covering books of the bible in small chunks to getting into specific topics of how to be a Christian in our world today.
Wednesday Nights are a time for students to come relax and take a deep dive into God’s Word. Our focus is on understanding what it means to be a true follower of Jesus and how to show and tell others in our life about Him. Wednesdays are heavy on group discussions letting scripture guide the conversation. This is a time for students to ask questions, build their relationship with God, and discover who He is and who we are as His children. Wednesdays also include a free meal from local fast-food/restaurant places.
We have several events that happen throughout the year that help the students grow closer together as a group while fellowshipping and learning more about God's call on our lives:
December
A night to relax during finals week. We usually have a meal, play a themed game (white elephant, secret Santa, etc.), and watch a movie!
February
Disciple Now is a weekend filled with learning more about God. We have worship, small groups, games, and a service activity throughout the weekend. Our D-now is a large event coordinated together with other local churches for the purpose of showing students in Parker County what it looks like to be part of the Global Church.
