Middle School Youth

Middle School students encounter God and the world through Sunday morning formation and twice-a-month weekday activities that include both service and fellowship. Sunday morning classes engage the gospel appointed for that day hoping to strike up interest and allow for family conversations of the sermon and the gospel. 2nd and 4th Thursday night activities rotate between making food for the homeless and gathering for fellowship and community building activities.
