20th Street ReRouted
September 3, 2008
Greenbrier Church’s 20th Street Ministry began several years ago as a means to bring together young adults in the 20’s age group for connection through small groups and fellowship activities. The ministry has grown and developed over the years, with strong relationships at the core. As young adult newcomers have joined the church, many have plugged into 20th Street small groups and events with great connections. Although thriving, the newest challenge of this ministry is that most of those that make up this group are now well into their 20’s or even early 30’s, have married and started families, and are simply in a different life stage, while newcomers may be just finishing high school and are looking for a place to get connected. Because of this large gap, the time to restructure and redefine this ministry has come in order to ensure we are meeting the needs of all.
We are, therefore, pleased to introduce the new structuring of 20th Street ministries and the launch of a new ministry called inROUTE!
What is inROUTE?
inROUTE is a small group based ministry primarily targeting those in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties. Although a majority of this group will most likely be married and some will have children, the ministry is open to married couples, married couples with children, and single adults with or without children. All are welcome and will find a place here. Our focus is on deep relationships and spiritual growth. We facilitate both of these goals through small groups, social activities, and outreach. Small groups will have various emphases to meet the needs of its members and may include targeted Bible Studies, parenting, marital issues, as well as prayer and personal ministry time.
Brent and Marsha VanNorman lead the inROUTE ministry, along with a core leadership team.
What is 20th Street?
20th Street is a ministry under inROUTE that will primarily focus on the needs of those at post-high school age to mid-twenties at various life stages. A new small group is emerging for post-high school (college age) young adults as we enter the Fall semester and will be led by Jason and Melanie Bedogne. While many in this group may be in college, some may have chosen instead to immediately enter the work force or a trade school. All are welcome. As with inROUTE, the focus of this small group will be relationships and connection, along with spiritual growth and discussion. In addition, a weekly college-age small group for “LOST” fans will be launched and led by Daniel Perez.
See the Greenbrier Church Small Group Booklet for a list of all inROUTE and 20th Street small groups. If you have any questions about this ministry, or would like to be involved, please feel free to contact Brent and Marsha VanNorman 757.482.2701 or any of the small group leaders.
