United

October 29th marked a huge moment in the history of Seacoast Student Ministries. It was the day that we decided to no longer be a youth group. Don’t get me wrong, I like youth group. It’s the weekly thing you do when you get a bunch of teenagers together and you play games, have a worship band play the good ole songs and hope that you give a message that students can understand. We decided that Groundswell was going to be much more than that.
We are more than a youth group. We are a movement. The word Groundswell actually denotes movement. We want to sweep across our church, communities, our state, nation and even our world with the Truth of Jesus Christ and see a Groundswell of response from this Generation to see people no longer bound by sin but are living in the Freedom of Christ Jesus! This, my friends, is much more than youth group.
Last Wednesday a few hundred students took that charge. I am so proud that this generation doesn’t want to be known for what they did for themselves, but what they did for God! I am blessed to be apart of it.
