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 5th & 6th Grade Ministry is to help students develop and grow in their personal relationship with Christ.

Check in is between 7:00 and 7:30am, and we’ll work until about 11:00am. Please wear comfortable work clothes and closed-toe shoes (no Crocs), as this is an active construction area. If younger children attend, a kid-friendly area can be set up outside, but an adult must remain with them.
