Middle School Youth Group and Commissioning
Middle School Youth Group is a three-year program that helps 6th, 7th, and 8th graders understand what it means to be disciples of Christ and to be a part of the church family at Trinity.
In small group settings the 6th and 7th graders spend the year learning about the major stories of the Bible. The 8th graders learn about the basic tenets of the Christian faith as outlined in the Apostle's Creed and about the unique characteristics of the Presbyterian tradition.
Learning to apply the Christian faith is a major focus of our program. We also learn about basic spiritual disciplines such as prayer and the devotional reading of the Bible. Middle School Youth Group also serves as a time for our middle schoolers to get to know one another better through monthly fellowship events, in addition to the Wednesday evening meetings. We always make sure to have some fun while we learn about what it means to be a Christian in today's world.
Covenant Partners are an important feature of the 8th Grade Commissioning process. A Covenant Partner is an adult in the congregation who will help the student think about what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. The Covenant Partner also provides the student with another adult in his or her life who will be interested in their activities, education, and personal growth. Many adults who grew up at Trinity can attest to the role their Covenant Partner played in their life, not only during the Commissioning process, but as they grew into adulthood.
The program culminates in the Commissioning Sunday service that officially welcomes the 8th Graders to the Trinity community.
