SOuth Valley Student Ministry

 

Welcome to Compass Bible Church South Valley and our South Valley Student Ministry page! My name is Tyler Sanborn, and I am the Director of Student Ministry at CBCSV.

A strong partnership with parents.

At Compass Bible Church South Valley we partner with parents to help students develop into lifelong disciples of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We strive to accomplish this by:

  • Praying students will be convicted of their sin and turn to the Savior, Jesus Christ.

  • Connecting students to the truths of the Gospel and how to practically live out their faith.

  • Equipping and training students to live for God's glory and understand how the Bible instructs us to do so.

  • Striving for spiritual maturity through discipleship and deeper study of God's word.

  • Empowering trained leaders to model Christ exalting lives which demonstrate his love.

*All of our South Valley Student Ministry leaders are background checked and equipped to invest into the spiritual maturation of your student.

What is the aim of South Valley Student Ministry?

SVSM’s aim is to glorify God through preaching, equipping, and training students with the Word of God for the glory of God.

Reaching students for Christ

Expository preaching - Keeping the Bible central

-2 Timothy 3:14–17 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

We believe the Word of God is living and active with the power to pierce and to divide soul and spirit. Through faithful expository preaching we trust the Word of God through the Spirit of God to affect the inner man and speak to hearts of our students as described in Hebrews 4:12.

Teaching students for Christ

Exalting the name of Jesus

Philippians 2:5–11 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

King Jesus is exalted and seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven. We desire to lift high the name of our Savior in our with our mouths, hearts, and minds.

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”

Proclaiming a biblical gospel

Ephesians 2:1–5 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

We strive to maintain a high view of God in salvation.

Modeling genuine sacrificial leaders

Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

1 Peter 4:10 - As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace

We look to the example of King Jesus and desire to humbly follow his lead in service and sacrifice for the benefit of others.

Discipling students for Christ

“Go and make disciples”

Titus 2:11–14 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

Jesus’ commands in Matthew 28:19 direct all Christians; men and women, young and old, rich and poor, weak and strong, to make disciples with the promise that He is with us always and the gates of hell would not prevail against us.

What a privilege, what an honor, and what a promise we have from the Savior as we take part in the most important work of our lives!
