Children & Youth - 5th to 8th Grade
What to expect on Sundays?
Youth in grades 5th-8th meet at 9:30 a.m. in room 110, so kids report directly to the classroom and do not begin in worship. This class uses Connect, a Sparkhouse curriculum that seeks to connect bible stories with the way middle schoolers live and think. Kids remain in the classroom until parent pickup after worship ends.
The congregation gathers in Fellowship Hall for coffee snacks, and fellowship each Sunday after worship from 10:30 – 11:00 a.m.
​
Confirmation is offered for youth in grades 8 & 9 with most of the classes starting at 11:00 a.m. Confirmation Class Details.

Sunday Night Live (SNL)
Middle school (MS) youth in grades 6-8 will meet in room 110 about twice a month on Sundays from 6:30-8:00 pm. We will have a short lesson, snacks, and play some games. Once a month, Tweens (3rd-5th graders) will be invited to join us for larger group games; no lessons will be done on these nights – just a chance for fellowship and to play games before our all-church family potluck dinners.
