Parent & Student Meeting

May 1, 2011
TBC Student Ministries exists to assist students in pursuing strategically
what God prizes supremely, namely Himself (Is. 48:11). Thus, our ulti-
mate aim in every aspect of ministry is to see and savor the glory of God
in Jesus, thus living a life of worship in all things.

GOD CENTERED

To achieve this end we must be God centered in all we preach and prac-
tice, meaning we embrace the glory of God as God’s ultimate goal in all
things Rom. 11:36), and we enjoy the glory of God as our ultimate glad-
ness in all things (Rom. 5:2).

WORD SATURATED

The pursuit of such God centeredness requires we be continuously Word

saturated as God’s Word is the only lens through which we see the glory
of God in the face of Christ. (Ps. 138:2; 2 Cor. 4:1-6)

OTHERS ORIENTED

As a result we will be others oriented, expressing our Word saturated,

God centered life of worship in an outward directed, others focused life
trajectory aimed at those in Christ and those outside of Christ (Matt.
22:36-39)

Thus the aim of TBC Student Ministries is not to insulate ourselves but
expend ourselves, not to live minimally complying with external ethics,
but explode maximally out of internal enjoyment, to be so moved by the
worth of God displayed in the Word of God that we join the great goal of
God to be worshiped by every tribe and tongue and people and nation
(Rev. 5:9), thus covering the earth with His glory as waters cover the sea
(Hab. 2:14).
The Youth Council is made up of 8 men who meet monthly to dis-
cuss, plan, and pray for the direction and advancement of TBC Stu-
dent Ministry. Please feel free, at any time, to ask questions, ex-
press ideas, or share concerns with any of the council members.

 Just because AWANA is ending doesn’t mean our Wednesday
times together are too. Hey! It’s Wednesday is for junior high
and senior high students who desire to meet, be encouraged in
the Lord, and have fun together. Meetings will be held at the
church, 7 pm to 9 pm, on Wednesday, of course.

May 18 & 25#. June 8, 15, & 29#. July 13 & 27#. August 17

What if it was illegal or extremely dangerous to gather with fellow Christians?

What if churches met in secret? What if copies of Scripture were rare? What if
meeting to study the Bible were a criminal offense or a danger to your life? While
these are mere questions of theory for us, they are blunt reality for many of our
brothers and sisters in the world.

The Gathering is series of five bible studies held at various locations to be an-
nounced covertly. At each Gathering we will sing, study Scripture, and pray for the
persecuted, oppressed, and suffering church around the world. Our objective will
be to encourage a greater appreciation for the fellowship of the church, a deeper
love for the Word of God, and a more tender heart for the sufferings of our broth-
ers and sisters throughout the world. The Gathering is for both junior high and
senior high students.
