Elevate (Middle School Sunday School) exists to help middle school students grow in their faith, build Christ-centered friendships, and learn how to follow Jesus in everyday life. This ministry takes place after worship during the Sunday morning service and is designed to engage students at a critical stage of spiritual formation. We are looking for adults who love Jesus, love students, and want to invest in the next generation. Full training is provided by Pastor Lee.
