Rooting, building & strengthening students

One of the reasons I promote small groups in our ministry to students is that it helps us work towards accomplishing Colossians 2:6-7.

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him rooted, and built up in him, strengthened in the faith...”

Paul’s words to the Colossians help us get our hands around what some of the elements of spiritual formation look like in student ministry:

• Rooting the new believing student
• Building up the growing believing student, and
• Strengthening the maturing student in their faith.
