Middle School Ministry Small Groups
Every Wednesday
6:15 pm - 8:15 pm
Every Wednesday, Middle School Ministry will gather for worship and a message, then meet in their small groups.
What are Small Groups?
A Middle School Small Group is:
- 5-15 students
- 2-4 adult leaders
- Activity-oriented
- Same sex, same grade
- Grouped by existing friendship clusters
- Christ-centered
A Small Group should offer:
- A place that welcomes every student
- A safe and fun environment
- Loving and caring adult relationships
- Positive peer friendships
- Biblical answers
- Prayer for and with others
- Chance to receive Christ
Why Small Groups?
- To give everyone a place to belong and feel accepted.
- Quiet students share
- Absent students are missed
- Work with friendship clusters, not against them
- Provide support structure for newborn Christians
- Chance to grow spiritually
- Allow young people caring adult relationships, feedback and council.
- Provide adults an entry point for real ministry into student life.
