"Plunge" is sort of a funny name for a youth group. The very word summons images of deep sea divers or clogged toilets. We, students and leaders, are neither of those things. "Plunge" rather is a verb representing how we intend to engage our lives growing with Christ.
–verb (used without object)
5.
to cast oneself, or fall as if cast, into water, a hole, etc.
6.
to rush or dash with headlong haste: to plunge through a crowd.
8.
to throw oneself impetuously or abruptly into some condition, situation, matter, etc.
—Idiom
17.
take the plunge, to enter with sudden decision upon an unfamiliar course of action, as after hesitation or deliberation: She took the plunge and invested her entire savings in the plan.
The Israelites, while crossing the Jordan into the Promised Land, took the plunge into the icy river in trust. This trust was rewarded by God when God stopped the water flowing and allowed the people to cross on dry land. (Joshua 3)
In another instance, the disciple Peter took the plunge by getting out of the boat to walk to Christ on the water. As long as Peter kept is focus on Jesus, he did just fine on the water. (Matt. 14:22-34)
We are Christians who want to take a risk, invite God to do amazing things in our lives, and have fun doing it. So come take the Plunge with us....
