Middle School Ministry
In sixth through eighth grade, middle school students will face changes in almost every area of life. It's critical to have people in their lives who care for them and invest in their success.
That's where we come in. We're passionate about jumping into the lives of middle school students to help them navigate all the physical, emotional, and relational changes they're wading through.

Events & Trips
Every year, the Middle School Ministry hosts tons of awesome events, trips, and retreats! Whether it’s a crazy dodgeball tournament, a weekend fall retreat, or a mission trip to Chicago, we are always creating fun environments where students can invite a friend, experiences that challenge students to take the next step in following Jesus, and opportunities to serve others.

Why student ministry? I’ve always had a heart for students. As one who naturally still lives in their world, I love the opportunities I have to connect with them. My hope is to meet students wherever they are on their journey and show them who Jesus is and how loved they are, in hopes that they will continue to take steps in their faith and relationship with him.

Why student ministry? I love empowering students in their relationship with Jesus. There is no such thing as being too young to love Jesus deeply. Student ministry is where I met some of my best friends and where I learned what living for Jesus looks like. Middle school students keep me on my toes and constantly show me new ways to have fun and show love to those around me. I love the silliness and expressiveness that comes from students, and how contagious their energy can be. God is constantly revealing more of himself to me through student ministry.
