LEADING PRETEENS TO FOLLOW CHRIST


Summit Preteen meets weekly on Wednesday evenings in Room 107 at Summit Church from 6:30-8PM. This is a ministry for preteens currently in 4th and 5th grade. We believe this age group is in a unique stage of life as they learn how to take their faith, identity, and purpose into the real world. We lead preteens to follow Christ through engaging games, teaching, and small group time. Preteens are also encouraged to join us every Sunday for our worship celebrations at 9AM, as well as on YouTube at 6PM. For more information, please email Pastor Chuck.

Disciples of Jesus trust that God will meet their immediate and future needs, even when it feels overwhelming.

LEADING PRETEENS TO FOLLOW CHRIST

This happens through a three-step process:


KNOW GOD:

By bridging the foundation of the Christian faith to real life, we help preteens move from concrete learning to abstract thinking and application.


LOVE PEOPLE:

We help preteens develop Christ-centered relationships that will help them grow in their faith and live out God-created community.  


SERVE THE WORLD:

Jesus was a servant and calls us to be the same. We put others' needs ahead of our own by giving time and resources to each other, our community, and beyond.
