Middle School
Our middle school ministry exists to glorify God through the spiritual transformation of individual middle school students through the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
How we help middle school students through the process of spiritual transformation...
COME/WORSHIP
"The Premier" for Middle School students is a midweek worship opportunity for students 6th-8th grade, and usually where they walk through our door for the first time. We play games, worship, and present a message of Truth to students. The bounce-off-the-wall outgoing and the shy, quiet, more reserved teen will both find a comfortable fit.
CONNECT/GROW
To help students connect with other believers and grow in their relationship with Christ we have Sunday morning connect groups for middle school students that meet every week at 9:30 am. These Connect Groups have a small group discussion feel to them. In these small groups students and caring adults discuss ever changing teen culture, patience, dating, relationships, work, peer pressure, friends, values, loving others, and boundaries all within the context of God’s perfect plan for their lives.
Life Groups provide a way for students to go even deeper in both their relationship with Christ and their relationships with their peers. These small groups are designed to connect students to group of believers and allow for discussion of life issues relevant to their Christian journey. These groups are gender specific and meet in 6-8 week intervals several times a year, typically on Sunday nights. We find that this schedule works best for most students, and the absence of the opposite sex alleviates pressure and discussion barriers for guys and girls alike.
SERVE/GO
Middle school students are encouraged to serve by participating in local missions and mission trips. Students who volunteer locally usually perform some type of service for the community or an individual. Our middle school ministry has begun focusing its Mission efforts on two Mission Trips a year to Rogersville, TN.
