The Middle School ministry at Messiah encourages 6th-8th graders to grow in their relationship to God and to each other through Biblical teaching, team building and community service.
SUNDAYS
Middle Schoolers meet together for Bible study at 9:30 a.m. in the Middle School Room. This is an excellent/informal way for middle schoolers to connect with other students with similar interests and experiences.
WEDNESDAYS
On Wednesdays during the school year, we gather together at T.E.A.M. for a three-year discipleship program called Confirmation. This is a great chance to meet other teens and begin Christ-centered friendships, grow in your understanding of God, the Bible and what it means to be a Christian today.
While generally thought of as the “hoops one has to jump through” to be confirmed at the end of the three years, we don’t do that here! This is a time in which teens come together and spend time in both large group and small group activities/learning.
Wednesday Night Confirmation Schedule:
5:00 p.m. Meet for Team Building Fun
5:30 p.m. Eat dinner family style in the gym
6:00 p.m. Split up by grade level for confirmation instruction
7:00 p.m. Finish
