Middle School Students
We offer a variety of opportunities for our middle school students to either come to know God or grow deeper in their relationship with Him.
December Calendar (pdf)
Sunday School
Sundays from 9:40 - 10:45 am
6th Grade – 304 • 7th & 8th Grade – 312
Students gather in the Family Life Center Gym at 9:40 am. Grapple is a program developed specifically for middle school students, and it speaks to the issues they will "grapple" with during middle school. This weekly program really touches our students and leads to great classroom conversations about our weekly topics.
Our Sunday mornings usually begin with a couple of songs, a game that is relevant to our theme, a goofy video that further illustrates our theme, a theme scripture and then small break out group discussions that close with prayer. This weekly program will continue to offer all middle school students an opportunity to examine their faith and the teachings of the Bible.
Flipside
Sundays from 5:00 - 7:15 pm
FLC Room 306 & Gym
Flipside is our weekly Sunday night program of big fun open to all middle school youth and their friends. It focuses on fellowship and growing community in a Christian environment through large group and ice-breaker games, a short devotional, and an introduction to some inspirational songs. During the last 30 minutes, our middle school youth participate in a worship service with our high school youth.
Missions
During the summer, middle school youth are given an opportunity to participate in a mission of service locally.
Retreats & Camps
Middle school youth have opportunities throughout the year to participate in weekend retreats designed specifically for them, as well as longer term camps focusing on Christian fellowship and study.
Small Groups
We have several small groups that operate at various times during the week for both high school and middle school youth. These groups meet at host homes and are arranged according to the availability of students. Please contact Youth Ministry for more information.
