Lead in Middle School Ministry


We’re excited you’re considering leading in a Middle School cell or home group! Our groups need committed Christians who want to impact students for Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:5–6 "Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."

You’ll join a capable team with coaching, resources, and plenty of support.
