College & Career Class S.S. Name!

How about

Salt N' Light

The Ambassadors (for Christ, per 2 Cor 5.20)

The Bridge

 

Comilibus

College, Military, and Business

 

Ours is called The EDGE.

Encouraging Disciples (to) Go (to) Everyone

 

We don't have name. Actually I have been the teacher for this class since September and havn't had any students. I now have one 18 yr. old who says he will be there for Sunday School next week. So pray for me as I teach my first class.

I recommend "The Whatevers"

 

Wow its the first time I've ever quoted myself!!

It's not "Encouraging" its instead:

Equipping Disciples (to) Go (to) Everyone

 

Whatever the name of this class, it needs to be properly scoped/focused. Those attending college are face significantly different pressures and experiences than those who are not attending or have finished school.

I've been involved in several of these classes (3 as a teacher) and the wide spread of needs from 18yrs to 30yrs is damaging to the cohesion needed in such a group. Most of the churches that lump all of these folks (college, college age but not attending, older singles, etc...) do so because of having no other place to put them.

Folks in each of these age groups get that and this is reason that few of these multi-age group classes succeed.

That said, I greatly admire anyone who seeks to lead such a group.

 

I totaly agree - a college group should be separate from post college or those working. College people and those working and those somewhat older are all in different places in their lives and dealing with different things. Too bad they are all lumped together.

Joshua, I like the EDGE name and what it stands for! :wavey:

 

At a previous church i used the "GAP", for "Graduates And Professionals"

 

How 'bout "mixed nuts"?

 

A couple of questions please.

What is your church’s mission statement?

What is your vision for accomplishing that statement?

Your class name should encompass your strategy for attaining your vision.

For instance

A mission statement might read “Christ Centered Family Focused”

Your vision would be that every church program be centered on Christ and that every program be interlinked with your church family.

Your college and career class might have the strategy of training future moms and dads for service within the church body and the family.

You want to give your class a name that identifies you with your stated strategy of where you are and where you want to be. It may be a single word or a couple of words, or perhaps an anagram.


Strength and Beauty
Knights and Ladies
Promise and Covenant

One thing about it a great activity would be to brain storm over Pizza and coke.

I hear you and have been in almost your exact situation. The difference between 19 and 24 is not incredibly severe. While I almost never suggest church switching, I am quite realistic when some of my former SS students ask for my opinion on their next SS move. For example, I've found few churches that place a real focus on either young or older singles (2 completely different groups). My standing advice is that while I would obviously prefer that no one leave my church, if another church is a better fit, by all means check it out.
