Any high school graduate who has been a part of the fuse* student ministry is invited to this gathering! All those games of kickball, volunteering each other to pray, and opening up about hard days are worth so much. We hope you’ll come for a chance to reconnect, encourage each other, and welcome the 2022 graduates.

Students who desire to grow closer to others and God are encouraged to join a life group. Here, we dive deeper into the Bible in community with a fuse* Leader to learn more than what we possibly could on our own. Students are invited to meet at 10:00 AM in the fuse*box then break into separate groups from there. Leaders will connect with their students on their specific meeting room. Here are our current life groups:
- Middle School Girls Group: Any girl in 6th – 8th grade is invited to be a part of this group, which is led by Sue Johnson and Missy Lundy.
- Middle School Boys Group: Any boy in 6th-8th grade is invited to be a part of this group, which is led by Chad Bower, Mike Lundy and Ken Durrwachter.
- High School Girls Group: Any girl in 9th – 12th grade is invited to be a part of this group, which is led by Payton Robbins and Nicole Bower.
- High School Boys Group: Any boy in 9th-12th grade is invited to be a part of this group, which is led by Caleb Robbins and Bryce Berresford.

Parent Resources
Below are online resources to equip you for at-home discipleship:
Scripture & Prayer
There is no tougher job and no greater calling than that of a parent. The powerful role a parent plays in their child’s life cannot be overestimated. Your kids are drawing their cues on what it looks like to follow Christ from you more than they are any other person. This can be an incredibly motivating, convicting, and overwhelming thought. You won’t always get it right or perfect. But you can always pray and lean on God’s word for direction.
28 Scriptures, 28 Prayers for Parents of Teens
Digital Engagement
This is a 12-page booklet for parents to work through and come up with a strategic game plan or code of conduct for technological engagement. Each section is intended to start with parents assessing and discussing, but also provides opportunities to bring the whole family into the discussion. There are four sections to the workbook:
Devices: Take inventory of each family member’s technological devices, assess the level of engagement in those devices, and discuss findings.
Social Media/Digital Connections: Take inventory of each family member’s social media accounts, assess the level of awareness on those platforms, and discuss findings.
Digital Code Of Conduct: Exercises to help consider ways in which a family can engage healthily and receptively in their digital reality.
Rules and Boundaries: Questions for coming up with rules and boundaries for the family.
Health & Wellness:
Help parents navigate mental health and communication by covering topics like defining mental health & mental illness, mental illness indicators & descriptions, how to have conversations with your child about mental health, and finding help for your child.

Discipleship Resources
The scripture tells us in Proverbs 22:6 — “Train up a child in the way he should go; Even when he is old he will not depart from it.” What a seemingly simple, but overwhelmingly complicated verse! It’s one of the most quoted, but difficult tasks for a parent. These resources can be helpful as you navigate raising your children in the Christian faith.
