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.

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.
