YOUTH PARENTS

Parents,

Our student environments are designed to connect students with God and each other.  Each environment contains relevant teaching, an engaging atmosphere, and the opportunity to connect with other students.

Our mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ by creating environments where students prioritize their relationship with Christ, influence their friends, and experience personal ministry.

During F.S.O.

...we strive to impart wisdom to your students.  There are seven principles that are discussed throughout the different environments that middle and high school students are a part of. 

The 7 Checkpoints For Students

1)  Authentic Faith

You have to believe and trust in Jesus Christ as your personal savior if you want to go to heaven.  But faith in Christ also allows you to live on earth in a daily relationship with a heavenly Father who loves you unconditionally.  As an all-knowing and all-powerful father, you can trust him to lead you the right way.

2) Spiritual Priorities

God designed you to have a relationship with him.  Your intimacy with him will provide the foundation you need to face whatever life can possibly throw at you.  His friendship with you provides ultimate fulfillment and security.

3)  Moral Boundaries

Purity paves the way to intimacy.  The most important thing you can do is to establish specific guidelines in your dating life.  You need to learn how to protect your body and emotions by honoring God's plan for sex and morality.

4)  Meaningful Friendships

Your friends determine the direction and quality of your life.  If you walk with the wise, you grow wise.  Spending time with the right kind of friends definitely helps you grow in a positive and healthy directions.  Scripture also teaches that the companion of fools will suffer harm.  Learn to build healthy friendships and avoid unhealthy friends.

5)  Wise Choices

In light of your past experiences, present circumstances, and future hopes and dreams, you need to ask yourself, "what is the wise thing to do?"  Good decision-making is more than simply choosing between right and wrong.  It is the skill of applying scriptural principles so you can make smart choices that will protect your future.

6)  Others First

Scripture teaches that God has creates you to do good works and that he has given you unique gifts and talents.  Discovering those gifts and using them to make investments in others is the key to lifelong fulfillment.7)  God-Given AuthorityTo have authority, you must be under authority.  The parents, teachers, and leaders that God has placed in your life are there to guide you and guard your potential.  The greatest lesson you can learn is to respect and honor those who are in authority.
