Choose Your Own Adventure is a 4 week series based on the classic book where readers make choices that determine how the story unfolds. We’re digging into the book of Proverbs to help students navigate life’s paths with wisdom by showing how their friendships, words, and daily choices shape their future with God and others

what to expect in jhm?

Every weekend, students experience worship + teaching in a large group setting, plus a chance to have some fun, play games, and spend time with their small groups.  Our hope is to energize students to connect with their peers and give them a vision of who they were created to be. We want to help your student find friends and develop significant relationships in small groups that meet during the weekend.

Our team has created 3 quick videos about Jr. High.  Click on each question to watch the video.

What is the strategy behind JHM Ministry?

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to treat church like just another item on your schedule, hopping between different services each week. However, we’ve found that the best way for your student to connect is by consistently attending the same service. This helps them build lasting relationships with their peers and a trusted adult leader. Another powerful way to deepen these connections is through Summer Camp. The bonds formed at camp are quick, meaningful, and can last a lifetime.

We would love you to partner with us in Jr. High Ministry! There are four ways you can serve and make a difference:

1. Lead a Small Group – Be a consistent voice in the lives of students.
2. Be a Greeter – Help new students get connected.
3. Serve in the Student Café (Be a friendly face serving students or helping them with the audio/visual that helps services run). (ANAHEIM ONLY)
4. Join our JHM BOOSTER Team – AS NEEDED: Help with events, shopping, hospitality, cooking, and more.

We would love for you to prayerfully consider being on our team. Please go to eastside.com/volunteer to start the process.
