10 Tips for Getting Your Student Connected:
FAQ's
Q: How do I get my son/daughter involved in The Student Ministry?
A: This is probably the most frequently asked question of our Student Ministry. The tough part is, there is no one right answer for every student. We do want to mention a few different ideas of getting your son/daughter involved in Student Ministry. One of the easiest ways to get your student involved is to introduce them to one of the staff at one of the Sunday services. Go ahead and come with your student and make sure that they are introduced to a student ministry staff member. Once a staff member meets them, the staff member will find a student who can show your son/daughter around during activities. Another way to get your student connected is to get them involved in a Bible study group. These groups are Bible study groups so they are a little deeper. You can call The Student Ministry office to find out more details about any event and where your son’s/daughter’s group meets. Another way to get your son/daughter involved in the ministry is to come to a major event. Because of all the events we have, it may be a lot less threatening to come to an event rather than a church service or Bible study. The student ministry staff wants to do whatever is possible in order for your student to get involved in the ministry. We believe there is no greater thing your son/daughter could be involved in than Inside Out Student Ministry of Lufkin's FBC. (also, check out top 10 list above).
Q: What are all the events available to the students at FBC?
A: There are way too many events to list for each individual ministry within our Student Ministry. The best way to find out about all of the events is to check out the events section of the website. On that site, you can find all the upcoming events within the Student Ministry. You can also call the Student Ministry office for any event questions or information.
Q: How do I, as a parent, get involved in Student Ministry?
A: There are numerous ways for you, as a parent or guardian, to get involved in Inside Out. The easiest way to be involved is to pray for us on a regular basis. Although there are a lot of things going on in the ministry, none of those things make any kind of significant difference without God’s power. As far as physically getting involved in the ministry, there are tons of ways to get plugged in. You can be a Sunday School leader or a Bible study host home, you can be a greeter, run the gameroom, or work at the registration/sign-in table. The student ministry staff would love to have you be a part of the team!
Q: If my son/daughter needs professional counseling, where should I go?
A: The Student Ministry staff would love to talk with your son/daughter. We are not trained licensed counselors, but we can speak with students about the spiritual nature of any issue. For any major psychological issues, we highly recommend a licensed professional counselor. We would also be happy to help you find a counselor.
Q: Why does The Student Ministry do the things it does?
A: The student ministry does things in particular ways in order to fulfill the vision of the church. Rest assured, anything that happens within Inside Out falls under the purpose of our Student Ministry itself. The purpose statement Inside Out is: We exist to help student FIND and FOLLOW Jesus.
