PURPOSE

The purpose of Elevate 78 is to help 7th & 8th graders “take the next step” in their relationship with God, whatever that might be.

SERVICES

Jr High meets separately from the adult service during the 9 am & 11 am services. Our time together includes teaching, worship, and small groups. We also work to teaches kids practices for encountering God even apart from a church service.

Tentative Fall Schedule:

Our ministry is shaped by some core convictions:

• God has given everyone the capacity to know him and respond to him in faith, regardless of their age.
• We need to be innovative. Studies have shown that most kids who go to church will walk away from their faith as young adults. We can’t just do the same old thing and expect different results.
• Parenting an early adolescent is a different beast. We want to support parents in meeting this challenge, through classes, seminars, and parent networking.
• One of the biggest needs of early adolescents is the presence of caring adults in their lives.
• 7th & 8th grade kids need chances to discover and develop their gifts, and opportunities to do ministry out in the world.

We are always looking for amazing leaders to join our team!

If you are interested in being a volunteer leader with us, check out the requirements below.
