 Middle School MinistryLots of ways to get connected, have fun and grow faith.
At UALC, our mission is to be and to make disciples of Jesus Christ, loving God and our neighbors with soft hearts, open hands, engaged minds, and whole spirits. MSM (Middle School Ministry) is a community of disciples in 6th-8th grades practicing our faith together. We partner with families with our age-specific phase plan for grades: Sixth, Seventh, Eighth. As followers of Jesus, we worship, grow, and serve together.
Contact Kelsey Bacon, Director of Middle School Ministry, for questions about anything related to MSM.
WorshipWe believe that a key step in a student’s long-term faith formation is to connect with the larger congregation by attending, or streaming, worship with their families. Teens can also volunteer at in-person, outdoor worship helping with hospitality and ushering.
GrowWeekly MSM GroupJoin students and leaders every Sunday from 4:30-6:00 pm as we gather as a community to have fun and grow in faith together. During this season, MSM group looks a little different, but we are still meeting! We meet with our small groups in host homes every Sunday, and meet together as a large group for a game day the last Sunday of the month.
Growth WorkshopsAs part of UALC’s mission to be disciples, we provide growth opportunities at all age levels. For middle schoolers, we have four key workshops that we believe are crucial for faith formation and the path toward confirmation. These workshops are for parents and students to attend together, as we believe parents are the primary formers of faith and we want to partner with you in this journey. Contact Kelsey Bacon for more information and registration.
