Countryside Baptist Student Ministry Purpose Statement

To reach unchurched students 

To disciple all students  

To be fully devoted believers who walk with God and multiply their faith.

Countryside Student Ministry Creative Discipleship/Small Group Study Plan

It is the responsibility of parents to teach their children to love God and live for Him (Deuteronomy 6:6-9)

 

Parents today have the same responsibility.  Knowing of our responsibility is one thing, while knowing how

to carry it out is quite another.  We here at Countryside Baptist Church want to help you accomplish your

God-given responsibility to your children.

 

To do that we have chosen to use the practical tools that Word of Life Local Church Ministries has developed.

We want you to know what is available for your son or daughter and how you can use it in your home.

 

***Young people are often more open to personal discipleship when dad and mom are participating and

encouraging the process.  This provides an example for them to follow.  This is the PI (Parental Involvement) Factor. 

 

The discipleship process in Local Church Ministries is known as Creative Discipleship and includes developing and maintaining spiritual disciplines.  The faithful disciplines we want to help instill in the life of your son or daughter are:

 

1. Quiet Time with God   (Daily)

2. Scripture Memory      (Weekly)

3. Bible Study                  (Weekly)

4. Christian Service        (Weekly)

5. Faithfulness to Church   (Weekly)

 

SPIRITUAL GROWTH FORMULA

 

YC (Your child) + SD (Spiritual Disciplines-QT, SM, CS, etc.)

+ PI (Parental Involvement)=SG (Spiritual Growth)
