Middle School Ministry

What is the Connect?

Connect is for 6th–8th graders who want to have fun, build community, and explore what it means to follow Jesus. In a fun, high-energy environment, trusted leaders come alongside students to disciple, encourage, and challenge them through relevant messages and real conversations. We’re passionate about helping students build a firm foundation of faith that will last into high school and for the rest of their lives.

Our Vision

We exist to help students know God personally, find belonging through Christ-centered community, and step confidently into the purpose God has for their lives. Follow Jesus, Find Belonging, Live with Purpose.

UPCOMING EVENTS!

Hume Lake Parent Meeting (Middle School & High School) – July 22

If your student is attending Hume Lake this summer, we will be hosting a mandatory Hume Lake Parent Meeting on Wednesday, July 22, shortly following our Wednesday night service in Station 3:16. During this meeting, we’ll cover everything you need to know before camp, including what to expect throughout the week, what to pack, departure and arrival information, camp expectations, medical and medication procedures, communication during camp, and other important details. We ask that at least one parent or guardian attend so your family is fully prepared for an incredible week at Hume Lake. We can’t wait to experience all that God has in store this summer!

Middle School Girls Bible Study

Middle school girls, join us every other Thursday at 6 pm at the East Campus for a Bible study.
