A new 4-week series on understanding your God-created need for belonging and discovering your role in God’s story.
From group chats to friend groups, we’re all wired to want a place where we’re known, accepted, and truly belong.
But when fitting in feels hard or being “enough” feels impossible, God offers us something better — a kind of belonging that’s secure, unearned, and unshakable. This series invites students to stop striving for acceptance and start living from it.
Through these four weeks, students will see how God not only invites them in, but also gives them a place, a purpose, and a part to play in His bigger story.
Lesson 1: You’re chosen, seen, and loved by God. There is nothing you can do to earn it.
Lesson 2: You don’t have to change who you are to fit in — God made you just right.
Lesson 3: You’re not just welcome in God’s family — you’re needed.
Lesson 4: Even when you mess up or doubt, you still belong.
