Student Ministry Girls' Lock-In

Posted by: Caroline

This past weekend, the student ministry held a girls lock-in at the church. Overall, it was a great night with little sleep! Amy Chasteen was able to share her testimony along with a clear presentation of the Gospel. The girls also had the chance to hear the testimonies of Leslie Mansfield, Lauren Pippen, and Savannah Stone as well. They were challenged to place their identity in Christ and to find their worth and beauty reflected from God’s word, not the world. We also had fun times playing sardines in the dark around the church, having a Project Runway competition, dancing, and decorating journals.

I was reminded at the beginning of the semester that the last thing we desire as a student ministry is to be a social club for the students. While that seems obvious, it can be easy to get caught up in making sure that the students are having fun, while failing to be intentional with the gospel at every event. Therefore, when planning the lock in, I wanted to make sure it was more than just a night of fun activities. The ladies who spoke throughout the night were faithful to proclaim God’s truth and point the girls to Christ as they testified of God’s grace in their lives. I’m so thankful for the speakers and their willingness to sacrifice a little sleep because I know that the Lord used them in a big way!

Thanks to everyone for your continual prayers for the students at CrossPoint and the work we do with the student ministry!
