Welcome to BreakThru

Aaron OsborneYouth MinistryAugust 30, 20100

BreakThru Jr. High Ministry at Reston Bible

As RBC settles in to our new campus in Dulles, VA, several things have changed in the Jr. High Ministry (6th- 8th graders). Now that there are separate Jr. High and Sr. High rooms, both can meet during the 11 am service.  With the new location and time also comes a new name – BreakThru.

While the Jr. High years are a key transition time in a teen’s life where they are starting the process of “BreakingThru” from a child to an adult, they are also foundational years in their walks with the Lord.  In Jr. High, teens have the capacity to understand the truths of God, but for the most part are not yet being challenged by all the trials of the world.  This is why the vision for the Jr. High ministry comes from Matthew 7:24-27.  In this passage, Jesus says that anyone who Listens to His words and Acts upon them is like a man who Builds his house upon the rock.  That house stands firm even when the winds and the rain come and slam against the house, because it has a solid foundation.

But just like laying the foundation for RBC’s new facility was hard work, laying a solid foundation in our lives is no easy task. You have to cut down all the trees and brush.  You have to dig down through the loose topsoil.  You have to BreakThru rocks and boulders in the way, till you can lay a level foundation on solid ground.  In the same way, we want our teens to Listen to the Word and begin to Act upon it, and in this process they are building a solid foundation for their lives on God’s Word and His wisdom.

If you are a parent of a Jr. Higher (6th-8th graders), we would love for you to join us on September 5th
during the 11am service in Classroom 3 in the Youth Building, for a meeting where you will meet other parents, get a clear overview of what we do and why we do it, and experience a little of what your Jr. Higher does each week at BreakThru.

We look forward to helping your teen lay a solid foundation for their lives on the rock of Jesus Christ, so they can be prepared for lives of knowing Christ and making Him known.
