Substance Youth Parent Update march 2024

Hello Substance Youth Parents! We're so excited to update you on what is happening in Substance Youth!

At the Movies

March 17th | March 24th | March 31st | April 7th

We want to invite you and your family to join us for our upcoming sermon series At The Movies! Each week, we will watch portions of films and hear powerful teachings from Pastor Peter on the biblical truths found in the movies! And it wouldn’t be a movie theater experience without popcorn and snacks which we will be providing for you each Sunday! We hope to see you at one of our campuses!

As always, we will also have student sections at each of our campuses where students can sit with friends, leaders, and their campus Youth Pastor!

Youth Worship Nights

On the last Wednesday of every month, we will have a time of worship led by our Youth Worship band! This is a great opportunity for us to gather together as a ministry to worship and to allow students to take the lead! On these nights, small groups are shortened and we spend the last 30 minutes of the night in worship and hearing a devotional from a student! Our next Worship Night will be on March 27th!

Small Groups

We want you to be in the know on what your student's group is doing each week! Read below to learn more about what each of our small groups are covering this month! To register your student for a specific small group, check out this trimesters small group guide HERE.

6th Grade Experience

Our 6th Grade Experience is a group intentionally created just for 6th-grade students to help them transition from Kids ministry into Substance Youth! This trimester, they will be doing weekly Bible Studies using a curriculum from the One Hope Ministry! They are currently going through a series all about The Bible; what it is, how the story all fits together, and what it has to do with our lives today! Click HERE to see the Bible Study series they are going through!

Check out the video below to hear more from Pastor Parice about 6th Grade Experience!

Connect Groups

Junior High and Senior High Groups

Connect groups are designed to help students engage with the Sunday Sermon and find community! They do an icebreaker question or play a game, spend time in worship, watch a video recap of the sermon and discuss, and break up for a time of prayer!

We have three connect groups available this trimester! On Wednesday nights we have a Connect Group for middle school students in 7th-8th grade and another for High School students in 9th-12th grade. We also have a group on Sunday mornings at our Westside Campus for students in 6th-12th grade!

Youth Alpha

(7th-12th grade)

The Alpha Youth Series is designed to engage students in conversations about faith and answer the questions they are asking! They will watch a video each week that covers a key topic and spend time in discussion and prayer! Here are the topics and videos they will be covering this month!

Bible Studies

Middle School

We have two middle school Bible studies this trimester! One will meet on Wednesday nights during our normal small group time. Additionally, on Tuesday nights at Northtown we also have an option for middle school students!

High School

On Wednesday nights we will have a Bible study for high school students in 9th-12th grade! This group will read scripture together every week and discuss how we can apply it to our lives!

Youth Worship Prepare

(7th-12th grade)

Youth Prepare will meet every Wednesday from 7-8:30pm for students in 7th-12th grade. They will go over things like song arrangement, stage presence, and most importantly help students develop a true heart for worship. After a student goes through Youth Prepare they will be able to audition for our Youth Band. The Youth Band leads our students in a monthly youth-only worship service.

Youth Freedom

9th-12th Grade Tuesday Nights

Freedom Groups build on the foundation of faith in Christ. These groups help you learn how to embrace the truth of God’s Word as it relates to your worldview, past, sin, personal value to God, and purpose in His Kingdom. During small group time, we discuss how to remove obstacles to intimacy with God and walk in true freedom with Him.

This month we are covering the topics of surrender, forgiveness, and the power of words!

Sunday Services

One of our goals is to have every student love our Sunday services!

We'd love to have you join one of our amazing campuses around the metro area! We have a campus at Northtown, Downtown, and Westside. At every campus, there are Youth staff or volunteers that would love to help connect you and your student to Substance Youth! Stop by the 7 Minute Party after each service and we'd love to help you get connected.

It's all about 4-7 Friends and Ownership in a Ministry!

Youth Serving

There's nothing better than serving with friends! Every week at all of our campuses we have places for students to find ownership here at Substance. From the coffee team, greeting team, to the kids ministry there are plenty of opportunities for students to jump in at Substance Church!

Parent Small Groups

We want to provide you with opportunities to have community and dialogue with other parents so you don't feel like you are parenting your student alone. We have small groups that do just that every Wednesday night at our Northtown Campus! To see what groups are available and to register click the button below!

Wednesday Serve Teams

We would love to invite you to serve on a support team on a Wednesday night! We are looking for people who can help serve on teams such as check-in, parking, greeting, and prayer to help make Substance Youth a great experience for students and families! If this is something you are interested in, you can fill out THIS quick form to let us know what team you would like to serve on and how frequently!
