Your Student’s Phase
THE PHASE WHEN THERE’S LESS DRAMA, MORE STRESS, AND YOUR VERY BUSY TEEN ANSWERS ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS WITH, “JUST TRUST ME.”
Juniors want to matter now.
They want to live the life they feel they were born to live—and they Don’t want to wait to start. This year, look for ways to create an adventure, let them lead, and give them something significant to do.
Every eleventh grader wants to know, “How can I matter?” So, your role is to MOBILIZE their potential.
THERE ARE 104 WEEKS UNTIL GRADUATION. DON’T MISS IT.
Spiritual Focus
During your student’s school year, Victory Family Church will go in-depth in February on a biblical principle during services. This isn’t the only time they will learn about this topic. We are just emphasizing the principle during this period. The subject is determined based on their age, stage of development, and what’s culturally and socially relevant.
Tithes & Offerings
The principles of tithes and offerings are critical to our faith journey. We believe now is a crucial time to get this into our hearts, not as an action of duty, but of love and obedience.
Parent/
Student Engagement
Parent/student engagements are designed to help connect and strengthen the family unit by providing intentional conversations that your student needs in this season of life. In February, we want to help you be intentional with your family and discuss how to do finances in God’s way. We believe this will help set up your students for a life of success and for generosity to become a normal part of their everyday lives.
One of the key areas we have identified for students to learn is how to manage finances and do it God’s way. We encourage every family to further their knowledge in the area by going through the small group, Financial Peace University. You can find a link to our small groups below. The second part of this engagement is for your student to go on the Junior / Senior Missions trip to the Dominican Republic in August. We highly encourage them to go on this life-changing trip, where they will be impacted by serving others! Everything you need to know is listed below to help you prepare.
