Middle School Group and Music Rotations

The Middle School School Wednesday evening program emphasizes Christian formation through Bible study (often through the use of topical videos) , hymns, liturgy , music theory/fundamentals, and fellowship through organized recreation and socializing. The Wednesday night Middle School group includes Sixth, Seventh, & Eighth grades. The Middle School leaders and youth eat dinner together and then move to the “Heaven” rooms for a time of study, recreation, and fellowship. They will then move to the music rotations.

The Middle School Stations are listed below as follows (In no particular order):

  1. Bible Study through topical videos – Click on the links below to learn more about the next two video series the kids will be studying.
  2. Recreation/Socializing – This is an important time to develop a sense of and build community among the youth and its leaders.  There are intentional times of fun, such as games and ping pong, and informal discussions to “catch up” with one another.  In addition to Wednesday evening activities, the Middle School Group will have a time of fellowship outside of church each month.  Click on the link at the bottom of this page to view upcoming fellowship events.
