Welcome to "Adopt a College (Aged) Kid." As our students transition from childhood to adulthood, we want them to know that they are loved and supported by more then just their biological families. We want them to know that this community of believers at Grace Evan is for them. We want them to see what it means to be the church through prayer, fellowship, and support.
As an "adopter," your main responsibility will be to pray regularly for your students. We also encourage you to pursue a relationship with them. Additionally, we send them one care package a year.
You are not alone in this endeavor. Brittany Pierce and Morgan Jones will be coordinating these efforts and helping you along the way. Once you sign up, you'll receive information about your student (or young adult who may not be in school.) You'll also receive guidelines and suggested steps. It is not designed to be a big commitment financially or time-wise.
While we hope that these young adults are responsive to our efforts, our efforts are not dependent on their response. We want to love as Christ has loved - faithfully and sacrificially.
A few things to keep in mind...
- We don't want to pair up parents with their own kids.
- You can sign up for more than one student.
- The initial commitment is for one full year, but we hope this connection that will maintain throughout their "college years."
We hope that you can see and grasp the vision of being the church for our students. May God richly bless our efforts! Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns, Morgan - mojones416@comcast.net Brittany - brittanymshirley@gmail.com
