Acts 29

Wednesday Nights | 6:00-8:00pm | Fall through Spring

There are 28 chapters in the book of the Acts of the Apostles. We find that it is our duty to pick up where they left off–challenging us to live our lives as disciples of Christ. One way we can do that is by serving as a peer minister. This leadership team is open to all confirmed students in grades 10 through 12. An application is required. Upon being accepted, students are placed in roles such as leading Confirmation, middle or elementary small groups.

Responsibilities of Acts 29 peer ministry team members include:

• Attend every Wednesday night. If you are unable to attend, you must contact Patrick and your co-leaders no later than the Monday before programming. No more than three Wednesdays throughout the year may be missed.
• Arrive no later than 6:15pm.
• Attend our annual spring Confirmation Retreat.
• Listen twice as much as you speak in your small groups. In other words, ask more questions than you give answers. Remember: it’s about them.
• Conduct yourselves in a manner that represents the Church of St. Edward and its values both at church and in the community.
• Complete and submit the Acts 29 Application in August.

Base Camp

Wednesday nights | 7:45-8:30pm | Fall through Spring

This is a time for students to grow in their faith as they worship through music, hear testimonies, learn from relevant biblical teaching and connect with one another.  Base Camp is meant to take students deeper in their faith through practical teaching and helping our students think Biblically in response to the issues they face in the world today.

Base Camp also includes special events like holiday parties, a broomball tournament with other Bloomington Churches, retreats, a cabin weekend and many more.
