Springwell Students

Grades 6 - 12

ECHO meets every Sunday at 6:00 PM in the Family Building.

And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. - 1 John 2:3-6 NLT

The goal of Springwell Students is to help students ECHO the heart of Jesus with their lives. This is accomplished by instilling four principles into middle and high school students:

E - Encountering God in worship (John 4:23-24)

C - Connecting with others (John 4:7-10)

H - Hands and feet of Jesus (Mark 10:41-45)

O - Opening the Word of God and applying it to our life (Matthew 4:4)

Each month, we will focus on the four principles of a life that echoes Jesus. ECHO meets on Sundays from 6:00 - 8:00 PM.

Springwell Students has 4 core values that drive everything we do:

1. You Matter

1. You Matter

As soon as you walk through the door, you’re family. This goes for someone who has been coming to Springwell his or her entire life, or if it’s their first time. We want to be a safe place that is life-giving, encouraging, and intentional with how we love people.

2. No One Sits Alone

2. No One Sits Alone

People only know that they matter when they can count on someone to be in their corner. This goes beyond a student sitting by himself or herself. This is about walking with each other through the good times and the bad, and knowing that Springwell Students is a group that will always have your back.

3. We Not Me

3. We Not Me

We live with an attitude of “we not me.” This plays out in multiple ways. One, we live and act in a manner that emphasizes what’s best for others. Two, it manifests itself in serving others. Serving is not something that we HAVE to do, but something that we GET to do. Middle and high school students are encouraged to contact Pastor Brian (brian@springwell.org) to get connected to a serving team.

4. Circles > Rows

4. Circles > Rows

We were created to do life together. We were created to build and foster community. In our setting, we believe this is best experienced in a Small Group setting. Don’t get us wrong, large group teaching is important, but it’s difficult to build relationships and community while sitting in a row...looking at the back of someone’s head. This happens while sitting around a circle, and looking each other in the eye. As a result, we continually look for ways to help students build community (both on Sunday nights and throughout the week).
