Preteen: Grades 5 & 6
The preteen ministry meets the needs of students in grades 5-6, bridging the gap between elementary and junior high with a ministry designed just for them! Students are challenged to grow in their faith as they learn how the Bible is relevant to their daily lives.

Sunday Mornings: Join us for a large group worship service including upbeat music with live musicians, communion, offering, and a weekly message. Preteens gather into small groups for conversation and lesson application.

Wednesday Nights:

BLAST
Wednesdays, 6:30-7:45 p.m., Community Room (111)
BLAST is the youth group where preteens will get to know other students, play awesome games, eat together, and dig into the Bible and learn how to apply it to their lives. Join us for Blast Extreme this fall!
