Jr. High Ministry is controlled chaos.  But that’s definitely not a bad thing.  These youth have an enormous amount of energy and a difficulty at focusing that sometimes.  But if you think about it, Jesus had to do the same with His disciples at times.  So, in the junior high ministry, we try to do the same thing.  We love them.  We teach them the Word of God through experiential exercises and lessons, and we disciple them to be what God has them to be.  Oh yeah!  And we also point out that it’s fun to be a disciple of Jesus during our Sunday activities.  

So, if you're a part of the North campus, a part of the South campus, or are just looking for a junior high youth ministry to be a part of, we would love to help.  We do all of the junior high youth activities at our South campus (Directions to 3900 Forum Boulevard) in our room lovingly known as "THE CAVE".  So, come one, come all to the place where we are "intentionally connecting youth to Jesus" in:

 

            Sunday School (9:45-10:45):

On Sunday mornings, it's a relaxed atmosphere.  The colored walls, the colorful commentary, and the goofy jokes help to set everyone’s mind at ease.  We start off with an illustration to get everyone motivated (charades, commercial presentation or a video).  And then we dig deep into the Word!  We aren’t there to just hold the youth over until their parents pick them up.  We are there to challenge them to come to a relationship where the youth and God are like two peas in a pod.

Pulse Night (6:00-8:00):

On Sunday nights, it’s different.  We play a game or two, do a group exercise and then divide up into boys’ and girls’ small groups.  We have a small snack and discuss the topic in a goofy atmosphere with some awesome leaders.  Sometimes, we do skits.  Sometimes, we do memorization.  But always, we do fun!  Then, we finish the night with singing “campy” worship songs and a short devotion.  Feel free to send your youth this way.  Our leaders rock, and the kids are even better!
