FAQ DiscipleNow

What is DisicpleNow?
The DiscipleNow concept centers on a small group atmosphere in a home setting for a weekend. Each group will have six to ten youth of the same sex and will be led by an adult leader. Each group goes through a specific Bible Study that introduces some to what it means to be a Christian and encourages others in their growth as a Christian.

Where do students stay?
Students stay in church members homes throughout the county.

Are adults staying in homes?
Yes, the group leader, host family, and usually another adult worker stay in the homes with the students.

Who are the group leaders?
Usually, group leaders are members of our church or personal friends of Lisle. You can call Lisle to find out what adult will be leading your student.

What does the cost cover?
It covers food, materials and t-shirt. Your student will not need any extra money for the weekend.

When will I know where my student will be staying?
We assign host homes with groups the first part of November. We do not make this public info until the Friday night of the event. If you need to know where your student is staying, just call Lisle.

What if my student has a conflict in schedule during the weekend?
That is one of the beauties of this event – it is done in town. So if your student has a conflict and it cannot be changed, in your registration confirmation packet there will be a “time away” card – fill it out and give it to Lisle before the weekend. But, understand, we strongly encourage you to try and work it out to be there the entire time.

How do I sign-up?
Fill out registration online or promo piece in youth area.

deeper Kick-off

In our Student Ministry we want to assist students in developing habits (means of grace) to become deeply rooted in God's Word. We offer a special ministry called deeper which enables students to know God so they can live a radically God-centered life. In deeper we lead students to discover biblical answers by asking real questions and challenging them to dig deep into God's Word for truths - truths they discover for themselves. So mark your calendars students and parents, deeper kick-off, September 16th, 5:00 PM. This time will give you an accurate picture of what deeper involves. We will explain the weekly and monthly commitment and view the materials.

Power-Plant Recap

Students from our church joined more than 150 students and their leaders June 23-29 for a PowerPlant national project in Pittsburgh, PA.

During the week, we spent our time surveying two neighborhoods, Point Breeze and Homewood, that surrounds Zoe Community Church. We learned what being "On Mission" really means throughout the week: Becoming personally involved in meeting the needs of others while sharing the love of Christ. Each morning we had training sessions on church planting and evangelism and closed the evening with the Gathering (a time of singing, praying, teaching and hearing testimonies of God's activity during the day). On Tuesday night, we saw some of the sites in Pittsburgh, the highlights were eating at Joe Mama's and riding the Incline.

Thank you for your prayers! It was a challenging week for our students. Going door to door in an area that has the highest crime rate in Pittsburgh can be a little alarming! I was very proud of our students' work - they were awesome! Many of them requested that we organize some survey work in our community so that we can better know the needs of our area, and how the church can better meet those needs - hopefully we will be doing this on Wednesdays after youth during the summer.

I will be posting more pics later this week on the student web page - so come back!
