5th & 6th Grade

Preteens are at the age where they begin to develop their self-identity. It’s both exciting and demanding as they navigate many developmental and social changes. We strive to first meet students where they’re at, then challenge them to take their next step toward Jesus, whatever that may look like. One of the primary goals of the H56 Ministry is to empower 5th-6th Grade students to develop their personal relationship with Christ.

Discipleship Camp
August 21st-23rd | Prescott, Arizona | $350
Join us for Discipleship Camp, for a fun-filled weekend at United Christian Youth Camp where students will grow in their relationship with Jesus through biblical teaching, worship, community, and fun outdoor activities. Students will build friendships, deepen their faith, and learn what it means to follow Christ together.
Our focus this year is learning what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus and how to disciple others. Students will be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to take what they learn home and live out their faith in their schools, families, and communities. Check-in begins Friday at 4:00pm, and we will return Sunday at 2:00pm. Don't miss this life-changing weekend of growth, friendship, and purpose.
