Sunday Mornings | 8:00 & 9:45 AM
Join the fun at Jr. High Ministry on Sunday mornings at 8:00 & 9:45. There are friends to meet, games to play, powerful messages from the Bible, and many opportunities for fellowship. This is a place where you can talk, discuss real issues, ask real questions, and learn about the real Jesus. We can’t wait to meet you!
Sunday Series:
The Book of 1 John
Imagine walking with Jesus throughout His whole earthly ministry. Soaking in His teaching and Gospel, and then being tasked with passing it forward. 1 John is a instruction manual that emphasizes joy, love, and walking out the Christian faith. Through this study our students will gain a deeper understanding of Jesus along with practical tools to live out their faith.
Join us Sunday mornings at 8:00am & 9:45am as we go through 1 John, discovering the Light of the World in Jesus and how that transforms the way we walk, love, and go through life together.
Monday Nights | 6:30 PM
Jr. High makes it happen on Monday nights! Come build strong friendships and grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus, by playing games together, studying God’s Word, and discussing all that God is teaching you in small groups.
Monday Series:
The Life of Jesus
Jesus spent three years of His life on Earth building His earthly ministry. During that time He healed the sick, helped the poor, taught about the Kingdom of God, and lived a perfect life leading to His death on the Cross. It is in these three years that Jesus raised up and trained His Disciples to carry this message to the ends of the Earth. What a life!
We believe that the best place to look for a model of a godly life is in Jesus Himself! Join us on Monday night’s as we look at Jesus’ life on Earth in the Gospels chronologically.
