Theology Track | Theology Of Suffering

“Why does God allow bad things to happen to people?”  “Where is God in my pain?”  “If God loves me, why is He allowing me to experience such hardship?” 

These are common questions for Christians and non-Christians alike. Suffering is unavoidable in this life. However, there is a greater meaning and purpose to our suffering. Whether you’re currently experiencing suffering or it’s in your future, we invite you to learn God’s purpose in suffering and how there is a peace that surpasses all understanding. 

Care Track | Caring for Those Suffering in Crisis

As believers, our call is to care for each other’s souls. But what do you say when you don’t know what to say? This track is designed to equip you with new tools to facilitate and cultivate a culture of care. We will learn how to care for those struggling with depression, fear, anxiety, and grief.

The Mount Student Ministry 

Students (7th-12th grade) Options:

  • Student Bible Study | As we continue our focus on “Do What Jesus Did," we’re excited to spend four weeks talking about what it looks like to be a difference maker. The "Difference Maker" study is a four-week series focused on inspiring students to live out their faith by learning from biblical leaders—David, Moses, Jesus, and Timothy—who made a significant impact. Through these examples, students are encouraged to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can be difference-makers for Christ in their everyday environments.

  • Serving in The Mount Kids (Requires background check and MinistrySafe training.)

  • Attend a Track | Students in 10th-12th grade can choose to attend either track for the four weeks. These will be intensive studies with adults so there is a very high level of expectation for any student wanting to attend a track. Those who choose to attend a track will be a part of weekly studies and discussions with others in the track!

    You can register for all four weeks of dinner at the same time as you register for your track. This will give us a headcount for dinner each week as well as the tracks.
