TruIdentity empowers middle school students to deepen their faith as they seek and respond to God, finding their identity in Him.

This eight-week series takes students together through Ephesians to encounter the living God! Middle schoolers will have opportunities to look upward and discover who God is for themselves, and then inward to understand what it means for their identity to be “in Christ,” so they can live a life in response outward into their communities. Through Paul’s empowering letter, students will be shown that from before the beginning of time, God has been on the move, moving toward us and inviting us to move with Him, to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth with the knowledge and glory and love of God.

TruIdentity begins in the home with the At Home Weekly. Families are equipped to be the primary nurturers of their student’s faith through time together in God’s Word, prayer, and blessing. Students will come ready to continue the conversations about God that began at home.

Components of a TruIdentity Lesson

Connect: Students are invited to engage with leaders and one another through activities, questions, and personal testimonies. Then students are encouraged to connect with God through worship, reading His Word, and prayer as they learn to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit and His leading in their lives.

Encounter: Student ministry leaders are provided with a comprehensive commentary and an exegetical lesson outline each week. Leaders are equipped to prepare messages for their students, rather than prescribed exactly what and how to teach. Each week, innovative videos and relevant messages help students encounter God, His character, and His work throughout His redemptive narrative.

Respond: Students are encouraged to respond to God’s Spirit and what He is personally teaching them through worship as response and participating in discussions with their peers and leaders.

Bless: As followers of Jesus, we’ve been blessed to be a blessing. Each week, students receive a blessing from their leaders and sometimes one another. A blessing can be a prayer of commission, a portion of Scripture, or words to encourage and guide.
