Going Deeper

What is Going Deeper with God?
Going Deeper with God consists of Deeper Kids, Deeper 56 and Deeper Jr. High. KidzLand, Supercell and After School Cells (the new jr. high cell network launching in September 2011) are organized and designed to minister to EVERYONE at any level and at any place on their journey with God. Going Deeper on the other hand is NOT designed for everyone. Deeper Kids, Deeper 56 and Deeper Jr. High are all designed to build into a core group of students to intentionally teach them to fear, love and serve the Lord with their whole lives! Not only will we teach many truths from scripture, we will provide lots of time to help one another walk out what we are learning. This is a place where we have intentionally raised the bar in order to teach and call students along with their families to build God’s kingdom. With this vision in mind, we have set some pretty high standards for the requirements below – and we think that’s a really good thing!

Going Deeper will meet on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:15 from September 7, 2011 – April 25, 2012.
The application deadline for the 2012 Going Deeper With God year has passed. If your child is registered in Deeper Kids, Monique will schedule a general parent meeting with a potential interview to follow. If you have any questions you can reach us at 204-326-9020.
