Purpose

Wednesday Night Gathering is a component of the EQUIP function in student ministries @ nwc ( nwc = Northwest Chapel). The equip function is the intention to prepare students for life and ministry. It is a rest stop or oasis for any believing student during the middle of the week to get encouraged, re-energized, re-focused to live out their commitment to follow God everyday. I see it this way. I want students to say, "3rd Night relates my life to God's truth found in the Bible." That would be ideal. Students would read the Bible and study it in a small group according to a three-step process: (1) Observation--what do you see in this section of this study? (2) Interpretation--what significant questions can you ask to understand this better?; and (3) Application--how can you apply this to your life?. That is the hope of gathering on Wednesday Nights together around God's Truth preserved for anyone in the Bible.
