Pre-teens from Grades 3 through 8 meet the first and third Sundays of every month. Meetings are held from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Church School room following the 10 a.m. worship  service.

Meetings start off with a reading and discussion on a Bible-based story and a prayer, followed by crafts, games and other activities. Each meeting’s activities are centered on a monthly theme. The theme for February is "Winter Fun." Meeting dates are Feb. 5 and Feb. 19.

Purpose Statement

The purpose of the Pre-teen Youth Group is to help pre-teens establish a better understanding of their religion, form friendships, to grow in their faith, and build strong bonds with others in faith.

In addition, the Pre-teen Youth Group aims to establish a strong moral foundation through religion, to help students use the knowledge learned to make positive decisions in their lives, and, ultimately, to become confident, self-assured individuals in fellowship with Christ’s church.

Goals

• To encourage each child to develop his/her own relationship with God.

• To encourage each child to spend daily time in personal prayer and Bible reading.

• To improve biblical knowledge of each child.

• To create an atmosphere of positive peer groups.

• To teach the joys of serving ones community.

• To have fun while building our relationship with Jesus Christ and with one another.
