MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY

This is the heart of the middle school ministry where students learn biblical principles and apply them to their lives. Each week we have a team of volunteers and leaders who provide pancakes, games, announcements, and a message. Then students go into their small groups broken down by grade and gender where they catch up on life, discuss the message, and apply it to their lives.

SUNDAY MORNING // 10:00-11:00 AM OR 11:30 AM-12:30 PM

Who doesn’t LOVE Middle School Students?! We look forward to every opportunity to interact with and encourage students. The FirstWave Student Ministry values students and we want them to understand who God is, what God says about them, and how to apply those truths on a daily basis. We also believe in having lots of FUN and getting to know students over food and laughter.

DECIPHER // WEDNESDAY NIGHTS, 6:00 – 7:30 PM

The doors open for Decipher at 6:00 p.m. with the gym being open for students to hang out and enjoy some free time and a place to play. At 6:30 p.m. we get started and hit the ground running with games and activities. Then we transition into a Bible lesson with life application for middle school students. For most of the lessons, we split the guys and girls up so that they can talk about things that are important to them. The FirstWave Student Ministry believes that one of the ways to engage Middle School students is through relational ministry. Decipher is built upon that belief. We want students who attend Decipher to build relationships with peers, mentors, and God. This is a great venue for students to invite their friends who don’t have a church family.
