CDY Student Leadership
Every student is faced with a choice in their everyday lives; lead or follow. It is our desire to come alongside our Christian kids and equip them to lead. The student leadership ministry will transform how your son or daughter leads their peers as a Christian.
The Student Leadership Ministry is open to all Christian students in 6th, 7th or 8th grade. Students and parents are required to review and agree to a contract and pay a $25 annual fee for students to join. The contract addresses behavior issues, spiritual disciplines, and provides accountability for students who want to grow in their walk with God and learn to lead. The $25 covers the cost of their shirt, resources given out throughout the year, and helps off set a tiny portion of the cost associated with service projects students will participate in over the year.
Remember, we believe discipleship happens best in a small group. That being said this is not an either/or for students. We want these students in a weekly small group, spending time in God’s word and being discipled by a caring adult leader, then coming to Student Leadership and being taught how to lead.
The Student Leadership class meets Friday nights @ 7pm in RLM # 1, Upper Room. The class runs concurrent with the 7pm service at RLM which typically gets over at 8:20pm
