MOTUS Mentoring Groups

Student Groups for Middle and High School Students

MOTUS (Latin for “movement”) teams were created to help students move forward by providing spiritual support, direction, and encouragement through our gifted faculty. We believe that spiritual mentorship improves the community health of our student body and results in a higher rate of success (both spiritually and academically). By receiving mentoring, students achieve goals, accomplish tasks, and gain perspective for their spiritual journey.

Support

MOTUS Teams are designed as a positive and safe place for students to express their aspirations, struggles, and opinions. Students should experience the joy of knowing that their voices are being heard and respected by their mentors and peers, even if they disagree.

Direction

With humility, respect, and love, mentors guide students toward their healthy goals that result in spiritual and social health and away from unhealthy goals that may miss God’s purposes. 

Encouragement

During each MOTUS meeting, mentors seek to celebrate the wins of students and applaud them for their Christlike conduct, their unique gifts, and their hard work.

Because we believe loving someone includes hard conversations, mentors also probe unwise choices, unbiblical thinking, and harmful behavior in order to seek the wellbeing of the student. With prayer, even those uncomfortable moments produce spiritual and emotional fruit and mutual respect between mentors and mentees.
