JAM Sunday School

Sunday School is offered during first hour (9:00 am) in Rooms 204 and is designed to provide a learning opportunity for students to grow in their knowledge of the Bible and spiritual issues and to be challenged in ways that are relevant to youth culture. The goal of our Sunday School program is to teach God’s Word to students and equip them with the knowledge they need to grow into spiritually mature disciples. An offering is taken each Sunday to support our Compassion International child overseas.

For all students entering 6th, 7th, and 8th grade

X-treeme for 9-12th graderes

X-treeme stands for Christ died on a Tree for Me. This comes from 1 Peter 2:24.

Jesus is what X-treeme is about! X-treeme meets throughout the school year on Sunday nights. The "FIRST" Sunday of the month is a high energy, fun event designed for you and your friends to come and see who Jesus is. "FIRST" Sunday events include Dodgeball Tournament, a live Turkey Hunt (Road Rally), Christmas Party, Concert, Broomball night and much more.

The other Sunday nights are for students to come and worship Jesus through singing, prayer and teaching called X-treeme Sunday Specials. Following our time at church we go to a local restaurant to enjoy a meal together. Come once, come each week!  We love to point teenagers to Jesus!

All the details for each week are on our website, www.xtreememefc.org, or by joining our weekly X-treeme email newsletter for free!

Discipleship Groups

What is a discipleship group?

A group of available, faithful, teachable, and responsive 7th-12th grade students determined to grow in Christ-likeness and practically live out their faith. Discipleship Groups consist of 6-8 female or male students and one or two adult and/or student leaders. Groups meet weekly throughout the school year for Bible study, prayer, sharing, training, and fellowship.

Who should join a discipleship group?

  • Only those students who seriously want to grow deeper in their faith.
  • Only those who really want to serve Jesus.
  • Only those who are willing to be held accountable and to hold others accountable in love.
  • Only those who can really commit themselves to the group.

What commitments would I have to make?

  • Regularly attend weekly meetings (lasting approximately 1 1/2 hours). Meeting dates and times are determined by consensus of each group.
  • Willingness to support peers within the group through prayer,encouragement, reproof in love, etc.
  • A diligent study of Christian growth disciplines and discipleship (including occasional homework assignments).
  • Serving Midland Free and other organizations through service
    projects (as a group).

Why do we have to have commitments?

  • To have people of like mind together, committed to the same strategy and carrying it out the same way. And as a tool to help you discern whether or not God wants you to be involved.
  • Please pray about your decision to commit to a Discipleship Group. It can be loads of fun as your group grows together, but it can also be very challenging.
