2SM
What's 2?
TWO is the student ministries department (Jr. High-College) of Celebration Church. We are focused on the coming together of two generations. Our mission is to be an entry point in building and plugging students into the life of Celebration Church: A generationally-driven movement uniting hearts of age and diversity into one single force. We believe that when we build ministry on this principle, we are able to operate in a favor that brings life to students and the church body universally.
Services
TWO services are simply another entry point into weekend services. They are a weekly gathering of students, Jr. High-College, that come together for worship and the Word. These evenings are packaged to attract secular students that may not be quite ready to attend a weekend service. While creativity is at its peak, truth remains the foundation. With salvation as our primary focus, our secondary goal is to get students plugged into 2SM and more importantly weekend services at Celebration Church.
Events/Outreach
Events are the way 2SM (two.studentministries) creates opportunties for relationships to be built among students within Celebration Church. Events are the social fun of 2. Outreach provides an outlet for reaching secular students wherever they may be with the goal of exposing them to the movement. Events/Outreach are organized and designed to connect students to other students as a first-step in plugging them into Celebration Church.
2SM meets Thursdays at 7:00PM

SOAP - Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer.
As we read through God's Word, we begin to see how God responds to things. Doing daily devotions re-patters the way we think and transforms the spirit of the mind. Then when we face similar situations as Jesus did. We begin to respond in the same way He did. Journaling is an excellent way to both record and process what God has spoken to us. It is also a useful tool to use at a later time, to reflect on and review some of the gems that you have received. Without writing them down, you may forget those blessings and some very important lessons! While journaling is a very personal time with the Lord, you may also want to share some of your daily journaling with your mentors. Through discussion you may be able to look deeper into what God is speaking to you, gain new insight, and even encourage others. Follow the format below as a guide to your new journaling.
We are reading through the entire New Testament and Proverbs in a year. Read a Proverb a day for the day of the month that it is. Look at our "Reading Plans" page for the New Testament reading for the day.
SCRIPTURE: Find the reading for today's date. Take time reading and allow God o speak to you. When you're done, look for a verse that particularly spoke to you and journal it.
OBSERVATION: What do you think God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal Jesus to you. Paraphrase and write this scripture down in your own words in your journal.
APPLICATION: Personalize what you have read by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Perhaps it is instruction, encouragement, revelation of a promise, or correction for a particular area of your life. Write how this scripture can apply to you today.
PRAYER: This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or it may be a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two way conversation, so be sure to listen to what God has to say. Now write it out. If this seems a little overwhelming, take it slow and keep it simple. No matter how you decide to do your devotions the important thing is to show up for your daily appointment, because God is always waiting for you!
