Junior High Ministry (Grades 7-8)

Junior high can be an exciting time in the life of teenagers, full of changes and new adventures. It can also be challenging. The junior high ministry seeks to walk alongside students and their families as they navigate this exciting and challenging time of life. We offer programs that build community, foster spiritual growth, and are super fun. We invite you to learn more about the junior high ministry and to get involved.

The Basement
The Basement is an exciting time when junior high students get together weekly for lots of games, free snacks, time to hang out with each other, and hear a relevant, age-appropriate message that will challenge them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. The Basement is led by and meets in the home of caring adults who are well trained and have a passion for this age group. Come see what a great time Wednesday nights can be. The Basement meets Wednesday nights during the school year from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Sunday School
Sunday School is a weekly opportunity for students to grow deeper in their faith in a significant way. Each week junior highers are taught the Bible in a fun, interesting, and systematic way. The goal of junior high Sunday school is to give students the big picture of who God is, how God is at work in the world, and how God wants to radically invade and transform their lives. Sunday School is one hour you don’t want to miss. Sunday school meets from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the education building.

Junior High Retreat
Each fall the junior high ministry goes on a weekend retreat designed to help students build stronger bonds of friendship with each other, grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus, or begin a relationship with Jesus for the very first time. The junior high retreat is one of the highlights of the year for students in our ministry and is an event that you will not want to miss.

Adult Leaders
All junior high activities and events are led by leaders who have been carefully screened, trained, and equipped to minister specifically to this age group. If you feel like God is calling you to minister to junior high students, we would love the opportunity to talk with you more.
