A LOOK INSIDE....Life is a journey, and students in grades 10-12 are beginning to understand what that means. As they journey, they are seeking people to trust through the steps of exploring and learning. We journey in our relationship with Jesus in much the same way. To journey means to progress, to make headway toward a desired goal. We call it being En Route. Some desire to grow in their relationships with Jesus, others are just trying to figure out who God is and wonder if faith is real. Regardless of where they may find themselves En Route, we put all of our energy into inviting students to trust Jesus, and to experience life in all of its fullness found in that trust. |
