Middle School Ministries
“And he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves
but for him who for their sake died and was raised.” 2 Corinthians 5:15
The middle school key verse invites students into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, turning their focus off themselves and onto living for Him.
Youth Group
Wednesdays, 6:30-8 p.m., Youth Room (lower level) in conjunction with Family LIFE
Youth Group includes fun large group times with games, friendships, and Bible teaching. Snacks are always a frequent highlight! Small group/LIFE Group discussions focus on important biblical themes that help students develop skills to make personal application.
Connections
Sundays, 11 a.m., Youth Room (lower level)
Discussions are based on biblical worldview teaching presented by the Student Ministries Pastor or Pastoral Intern. On the first Sunday of each month, the discussion is sermon-based so students are encouraged to attend the worship service together with their family; then, come to Connections ready to discuss the sermon.
Middle and high school students meet together at The Orchard – Itasca Campus.
Summer Reading Calendar
Summers have the potential for great spiritual growth. One of the ways we as a ministry want to help you grow is by providing you this summer Bible reading plan. Our desire is that you would become like the tree described in Psalm 1:1-3, healthy, strong and flourishing, because of your delight in God's word. To delight in God's word you have to know it and to know it you have to read it. Take this opportunity to join with others in reading God's word this summer. When you do, you will find that it is good and nourishing to the soul. Together, let us delight in God's word, digging our roots down deep into the Bible, growing strong in our faith as a result.
