RISE Middle School Ministry
Purpose & Vision:
Our purpose is to help students build solid foundations in Knowing, Living, & Sharing the Heart of Jesus.
Our mission is to know who we are (sons and daughters of the King!), what we are called to do (represent His Kingdom on the earth!), and to RISE together for His glory! (Eph. 2.19-22)

What To Expect:
Weekly Events:
Tuesday nights from 6:30-8:30pm
Life Groups
The Middle school youth are divided by grade and gender for an intentional time to get to know their peers through experiencing God's word together.
S.L.A.M. (Serving Lebanon Area Ministries)
On our SLAM nights we intentionally seek opportunities to serve our local ministries, learn more about local ministries, and Pray for our local ministries.
Create Night
We encourage and give opportunities during these evenings to create something, either individually or as a group, as an act of worship.
Discussion Night
Students are broken into leader-led groups of about 6-10 students. Each group focuses on discussion and study of relevant Biblical and cultural topics, accountability, and prayer.
Connect Night
A night designed mainly for a time of Fun, food, friends, and fellowship. These nights take a variety of different shapes in each season.
SHINE Night
These are nights with a heavy focus on evangelism. They provide practical evangelism tools that help our students to understand, live out, and learn how to articulate the good news of Jesus, THE GOSPEL!
RISE C.R.E.W. Led Nights
These nights are special event nights that are led by our student leadership team (RISE C.R.E.W.). The team is given the opportunity to create, organize, and lead amazing events so they can serve their peers by pointing them to Jesus through different elements. RISE C.R.E.W. is given opportunities to lead like Jesus by being servant leaders. (Luke 22.24-27)
