SCHEDULE FOR SACRAMENTO

Building Community in Your Middle School Ministry
(Seminar Series #2)
Oct 11 8:00 AM-9:30 AM
Sacramento

Middle school students long for a place to belong. They come to your ministry searching for a community in which their story can be known and they can be accepted and celebrated for who they are. If you want them to have a meaningful role within your community, then you must cultivate an environment where students are valued and encouraged to contribute. This session will explore what a middle school community can and should look like. We’ll unpack what it really means to “belong” in a ministry setting, as we look at the basic spiritual, environmental, and physiological factors that influence a middle school student’s life. Together we’ll explore practical ways to invite students to belong as we look at everyday applications of this information. You’ll leave this session with a deeper understanding of middle school community and the tools and resources you need to begin building an ethos of belonging in your own middle school group.
