For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
1 Peter 2:21
Welcome to the "Next Step" Student Ministry! It's easy for the life of any believer to become "routine" or "comfortable". Here at Double Oak Community Church, we want to challenge you to take the next step. We offer a place where students can truly get plugged in and be involved.
Growth
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
1 Peter 2:22-23
Because we are the church, we are called to live as Christ lived. Our goal is to train students and give them the oppurtunity to grow in their faith and share that faith with others. Bible study is key in the life of any child of God (both young and old). Because of this, we are adamant about training our students to not only believe, but to know why they believe. The Bible deals with all aspects of life and we desire to show students the truths which God intends for us to know.
Fellowship
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
Our youth group desires to not only let students "hang out" with each other, but we also desire for them to grow together. All believers need to be sharpened, which is why our church provides a place where students can be sharpened.
