Growing together.
Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.
Our Preteen Ministry, The Bridge, is lead by Marie Patrick. The Bridge - serving our 4th-6th graders- was created out of the need to "bridge" the gap between our Kids and Student ministry. The Bridge Ministry's goal is to equip upper elementary students to go and share the Gospel. We don’t just want to raise a generation of Disciples, we want to raise a generation of Disciple Makers. The Bridge services are a mixture of in depth Bible lessons and fun interactive games! Ms. Marie realizes that preteens aren't quite Students, they are still kids that learn through play! Your preteens won't want to miss Midweeks and

Teaching, Equipping and Training students is only part of our role in ministry. We want to teach, equip and train you as a parent as well. Parents carry a much bigger role in a teenagers life than any adult leader or pastor does. So what where do we start? First, I would suggest starting with encouragement. Encourage your teenager to join us on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. And with that, you should join your adult classes as well. You cannot lead anyone farther than you are yourself. Therefore, If you want to see your teenager grow to be a godly person, you must lead the way in pursuing Christ as well. Here are some resources to help you along the way.
