MIDDLE SCHOOL (6TH-8TH)
At The LOFT Student Ministry, we're all about creating a welcoming and fun space where middle school students can grow in their faith, build friendships, and have a blast together. We do that through a variety of gatherings and events.
Sunday Mornings (9-10:15am)
Take a journey through The Word! Throughout the 7 years, they are a part of this ministry, we explore all 66 books of the Bible together. These lessons create a strong foundation for them to build their faith. Sunday morning meetings take place all year long.
Wednesday Nights (6:30-8pm; September to April)
Join us for LIVE @ The LOFT! every Wednesday night. During this time together, we dive into relevant topics, enjoy games, and come together in smaller groups called Discipleship-Groups (D-Groups). Each D-Group is divided by age and gender, and led by caring adult leaders who offer guidance and mentorship to students.
