Matthew 20.28
“…the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve…”
Rising Parents Please Read!!!!
It is our desire to grow students through serving and to create an opportunity for life group students to put their faith in action. Starting on November 1st your student’s life group will be serving outside of their life group home once every 5 weeks. We know you see the benefits of this plan, but may have many questions at the same time. We have taken the time to make a video that shows each service location and explains all the details surrounding the life group service plan, and our heart for leading students to become the hands and feet of Christ.

Where will my student be serving on their Wednesday?
There are 3 different service locations that we’ve lined up for the semester. They are the New Albany Boy’s and Girl’s Club, the Jeffersonville Boy’s and Girl’s Club, and the Haven House feeding center. Your student and their entire small group will be assigned one of these locations and will serve there the rest of the semester. The addresses for each location are:
New Albany Boys and Girls:
1721 Ekin Ave
New Albany, IN 47150-1745
812.944.4343
Jeff Boys and Girls:
1423 Pennsylvania Avenue
Jeffersonville, IN 47130
812.218.9581
Haven House:
1613 E 8th St
Jeffersonville, IN 47130-4749
812.284.3373
How will I know which place my student is supposed to go to?
Your student’s small group leader will inform you and your student of which service location to go to. They will also be sending home a schedule with your student with the dates that they will be serving for the rest of the semester.
What adult supervision will there be at my student’s service location?
Each small group leader will be with the group the day they are serving at each location. Additionally, each location will have trained staff that direct the students and leaders as they serve.
What if I am unable to take them to the service location?
We understand that transportation may become an issue from week to week. Your student’s small group leader will be glad to help with this. (meeting at Northside, your student’s small group home, etc.)
Is this safe?
Absolutely. We’ve personally visited each of the serving locations. We’ve also taken the time to build relationships with the leaders from each of the places listed above and place full confidence in our leaders to serve them
let us know if you need anything!
