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.

Ms. Marie's Corner
Marie Patrick, Preteen Director
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.

Radical
Take a transforming journey in authentic discipleship. As the pastor of a large and wealthy congregation, David Platt began to see a discrepancy between the reality of his Church and the way Jesus said His followers lived. In Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, Platt examines how American Christianity has manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences and challenges readers to rediscover the path.

Strengthen your relationship with God simply by enjoying him and his creation. Piper compellingly reveals why your deepest and most enduring happiness can only be found in God. Laying biblical foundations for a life of celebration, he describes how to glorify the Lord by truly desiring and enjoying him.
