Middle School
We strive to provide a place for students no matter where they are in their personal journey with Jesus. If you’re curious about God, Jesus or the Bible, come on out to IGNITE! Or check out one of our 7*11 or crazy outreach events. If you want to be challenged in your walk with Jesus Christ, dive into our Journey Groups.
We have a place for you!
For more information about any of the MS activities, visit the middle school blog or visit the middle school calendar. Download the 2009-10 participation agreement.
Sunday mornings, 11am, in the Gym
Ignite is high on energy! We typically crank up our music and our worship and get a little crazy in our games. Youth talks are topical, real, and relevant to the current youth culture. We typically breakout into smaller groups for more personal interaction and to help students make a lasting connection.
Journey Groups
Middle School Ministry -- Sunday nights 6:30-8p
Journey groups are for students who are ready and willing to be stretched in their daily walk with Jesus Christ. Students are given a monthly challenge, must maintain a consistent quiet time and learn to start keeping a journal to be a part of Journey. Groups are limited in size.
Currently we are not accepting applications, but we can put students on a waiting list if they are really hungry to grow.
Applications are available here.
7*11 Fun Nights
Invite all your middle school friends to experience one of our 7*11 events. It is a crazy fun filled night of Inflatable fun, games, Wii arcade, pizza, volleyball, crazy games, and much more.
