REIGNITE is a 90-day strategy to rebuild connection, ownership, discipleship, and spiritual fire in Infusion Students. As school ends, graduations happen, and schedules shift, we are making this season intentional — believing these next three months will become one of the most transformational seasons in our student ministry’s history.
“I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you…” — 2 Timothy 1:6
FNL Setup Guide
These two design systems give Infusion a consistent, high-impact environment every Friday Night Live. Same room. Same chairs. Completely different feel depending on the night.
REIGNITE Calendar
May 15 – August 15, 2026, with a Fall Launch through September. Two intentional touchpoints per month minimum. Every event has a purpose.
Official window: May 15 – Aug 15. Fields & Fire (8/1) and The Table (8/9) fall within scope. Worship Under the Stars (8/21) is the extended closing — the spiritual send-off students need heading into fall.
These dates extend beyond REIGNITE’s 90-day scope and mark the beginning of Infusion’s fall programming. Summer momentum flows directly into this launch season.
Weekly Playbook
Each entry shows the goal, leader emphasis, student ownership, follow-up, and what a win looks like.
Spiritual climax of REIGNITE. Worship, prayer, altar, testimonies. Alumni + Emerge College integrated. Every leader prays by name over students before this night. Follow up individually with every student who responds.
The Source — Monday Bible Study Schedule
All sessions held via Zoom, beginning Monday June 8. Session time confirmed by student poll before 6/8. June 12 (Friday) is an alternative for Session 1. Students earn 15 crew points per session.

Re-Engage
Before building a strong summer, every student must be personally contacted, checked on, and invited. Target: every student ages 11–19 connected to PLC — not just those who filled out a form.
Every student belongs in one of these five categories. Know where yours are before deciding how to reach out. The approach is different for each.
Sample Outreach Messages
The full student roster (ages 11–19) should be maintained in a shared Google Sheet — not in this dashboard. Use this section as a strategic framework for knowing how to reach each student.
Student Ownership & The Crew System
Every role needs a leader coach, clear task, start and finish time, standard of excellence, and a debrief. Real roles, not pretend assignments. Responsibility creates investment.

Parent Engagement Strategy
Parents are discipleship partners, not just transportation providers. Clear, consistent, specific communication gives them what they need to support their student — and keeps them invested in what we’re building.
If we want to touch every aspect of a student’s life, we communicate clearly with the adults who are with them the other six days of the week. Parent engagement is a discipleship multiplier.
📢 Weekly Parent Update — 6 Elements
Every parent communication should include these six elements. Short, clear, actionable — not a newsletter.
💬 Monthly Conversation Starters
🤝 Parent Involvement Opportunities
📅 Month-by-Month Parent Focus
| Month | Message |
|---|---|
| May | Launch REIGNITE — introduce vision, crews, The Source. Set summer expectations. |
| June | Mid-season check-in. Fire Night highlights. Invite to Youth Takeover Sunday + Awards Dinner (6/14). |
| July | Summer stretch. Encourage BBQ (7/10). Students serving at Carnival (7/11). |
| August | Celebrate the season. Prep for Worship Under the Stars (8/21) and Back2School Sunday (8/30). |
| September | Fall transition. FNL Launch (9/18) and Glow Night (9/25). |
Engage college students and alumni for Fire Night (6/19), Bible study support, and student panels. Their presence shows current students that a pathway of faith beyond high school is real and possible.
Youth Advisory Team
The Youth Advisory Team is the strategic layer of the Infusion leadership structure — core leads who exist to support, advise, and provide resources so the people who run events have what they need to do it well and sustainably.
Every sustainable ministry has more than one layer. The advisory layer exists so the operational team can lead from a position of strength — resourced, accountable, and connected to wisdom beyond the room.
Why This Layer Matters
Who Should Be on This Team
Start with a personal conversation. Share the vision, explain the advisory layer, and ask specifically what they would bring. The best advisors are invited, not mass-emailed.
Advisory Role Descriptions
| Role | What This Advisor Brings |
|---|---|
| Team Chair / Lead Advisor | Coordinates the YAT, communicates with youth leadership, ensures alignment with the ministry vision. |
| Parent Representative (up to 3) | Advocates for students and families. Bridges the gap between home and ministry. |
| Resource & Finance Advisor | Financial acumen, budget oversight, fundraising strategy, and funding connections. |
| Creative & Media Advisor | Professional creative direction for brand, digital presence, and content strategy. |
| Community & Outreach Advisor | Connects ministry to community partnerships, service pipelines, and external visibility. |
| Education & Life Skills Advisor | Academics, career, finances, life development. Feeds directly into The Source curriculum. |
| Alumni Representative | Recent graduate who bridges generations and models faithful transition into adult faith. |
| Spiritual Formation Advisor | Pastor or elder who provides theological grounding and accountability for discipleship direction. |
7–10 members. Aim to have the team structure defined before Fire Night (6/19).
Fill the Event Coordinator, Media & Communications Lead, and Ministry Care Lead first — these three unlock everything else. Crew Coaches must be identified before the next FNL.

REIGNITE is a commitment to shepherd students with intentionality during one of the most important transition windows of the year.
Students who have drifted can reconnect. Students who have been quiet can find their voice. Students who have only attended can begin to serve. Students who feel anonymous can find their crew. Students who are graduating can remain spiritually anchored.
We are using this summer to rebuild culture, strengthen discipleship, activate ownership, engage families, and infuse students with faith, identity, and purpose.
