Summit Preteen

LEADING PRETEENS TO FOLLOW CHRIST


Summit Preteen meets weekly on Wednesdays in Room 107 at Summit Church from 6:30PM-8PM during the school year and from 6-7:30PM during our summer months. This is a ministry for preteens currently in 5th and 6th 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 a time of small groups. For more information, please email Josh Ratliff. 


Our lesson series in September and October is called "The Basics" and walks preteens through the critical building blocks of faith.

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.
