Guys, I've been doing some thinking lately about the possibility of coming up with a ministry name for our youth group. For example, Longview Heights' college groups name is "The Well". The idea is that it is a place to come and draw sound biblical teaching like drawing water. I've also heard of a youth group at Temple Baptist Church in Hattiesburg being called "Refuge". Finally, the college group at Fairview Baptist Church in Columbus is called "The Gathering".
I would like to have a name for our ministry if we can find one that best fits us and is not generic or cheesy. In fact, one name that I was tossing around in my mind was "SURGE". Surge is defined as a sudden powerful, forward or upward movement by a crowd or by a natural force. There are potentially thousands of great names we could have to represent our ministry and mission, but I would like to include you guys since this will be the name you'll have throughout your stay in the youth group.
Once we've decided on a name I will have a sign made and all that fun stuff along with t-shirts so I need some feedback. Please respond to this blog with not only a possible name but with some explanation as to why your idea should be considered.
Interestedly waiting,
Alan

"SURGE! surging towards Christ!" could be our slogan! jus a suggestion... \u/ (which means Rock on!) Jessica (not Christie!!:P )
Jessica, thanks for the input. You forgot to vote on the side of the page. This will help me to have a numerical idea how people feel about having a name. Not necessarily surge, but a name.

How 'bout the God Squad?

How about The Path or The Way? I like surge too.
how 'bout Alan and the Chipmunks!
Surge is the "buzz" word with the troops and also the election. I like it! It will definitely be recognized and get others attention. Christie C
I like the Alan and the Chipmunks idea! That's cool! Not literally.... but it would sure catch some attention! ~Jessica~
Jessica,
You do realize that making the student ministry name Alan and the chipmunks implies that you and the rest of the students are a bunch of chipmunks. Furthermore, you do realize that chipmunks are nothing more than rodents? Surely, you don't want to be in the same category along with the very beasts that I am fighting in my attic do you?
Alan

(who wrote that? that is a good idea!)
Do the adults have any input?!
I like Surge, but I also like
God Squad alot.
Sure, the adults can have input. Perhaps and adults idea might catches the students interest and that is what they like. However, I'll make a final decision or else we'll end up with names like the Alan and the Chipmunks or worse.
THRIVE
I lik SURGE personally... Alan and the Chipmunks was sort of a jokey suggestion... I think (and hope) :P Jessica
