WELCOME TO MIDDLE SCHOOL
In Middle School, we believe that Church should be fun! Each Thursday & Sunday, Middle School gathers at our Manteca campus, upstairs in the Students Room (rm 208), to play games, worship through music, be encouraged by opening God’s Word, & meet in Groups. Our services are a great place for Middle School students to connect with a Church family.
We are all about Loving God, Loving People, and Loving Serving.
SERVICE TIMES – THURSDAYS AT 7PM
SUNDAYS AT 10 & 11:30AM
UPCOMING EVENTS
NOVEMBER SERIES – H.A.B.I.T.S. Spiritual Practices to Deepen Your Faith
This six-week series is designed to guide our students through six critical spiritual disciplines, helping them grow in their faith journey.
WEEK 1 – Hanging out with God Big Idea: A habit of prayer helps you run the race of being a Jesus follower. Question for Discussion: What are some ways you can make prayer a regular part of your daily life?
WEEK 2 – Accountability Big Idea: Accountable friendships bring healing. Question for Discussion: Why is accountability important in our spiritual lives, and how can we foster it?
WEEK 3 – Bible Study Big Idea: Building the habit of Bible study teaches you more about God and His ways, helping you run the race of being a Jesus follower. Question for Discussion: How does regular Bible study impact your understanding of God and His plan for your life?
WEEK 4 – Involvement in Church Big Idea: Church involvement means working together to put others first. Question for Discussion: What are some ways you can be more involved in our church community?
WEEK 5 – Tithing Big Idea: Giving reveals the heart of the giver. Question for Discussion: How does the practice of tithing help us grow in our faith and trust in God?
WEEK 6 – Sacraments Big Idea: Baptism and Communion are ways to honor and celebrate what Jesus has done in our lives. Question for Discussion: What do these sacraments mean to you personally, and how do they deepen your faith?
MEMORY VERSE – 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

NEXT STEPS
Our goal in Middle School is for every student to take one next step in their faith during their middle school years. Whether that’s starting a relationship with Jesus, learning how to sustain that relationship, or beginning to live their faith outwardly, we want to help students identify and move towards a next step in their relationship with Jesus.
TAKE A NEXT STEP
Once you’ve made the decision to follow Christ, baptism is one of the most meaningful next steps you can take. Baptism is a public celebration of your decision to follow Christ. To prepare you to be baptized at one of our services sign up for the class using the link below.
Everyone has a story, and we want you to feel confident in sharing yours! Your story is the story of your life… who are you, where did you grow up, what are you learning, who is Jesus to you, and what have you seen Him do in your life?
