Wildside

5th-8th Grade Students

Fun, Friends, and Faith

Our Student Ministries team is all about connecting with the 5th-8th graders of our valley and helping them find a place of belonging. We believe middle school is the perfect time for students to learn about the love of Jesus and then beginning to experience a deeper, more intentional relationship with Him.

Wildside encourages your students through weekly gatherings as well as through several exciting annual trips. We are glad to welcome students from any background, even if they’ve never been to a church before, and we hope our students will invite friends to join them. There is no need to register in advance. Just come when you can, and our leaders will help your student feel welcomed and included.

Weekly Programs

WEDNESDAY NIGHTS

7-8:30 PM

Each Wednesday night our middle school students gather at CPC with our team of leaders to experience a night of fun, friends, and faith.

Students sign in on our front patio and then gather in our gym for free recreation and time to connect. We then usually have a large group game before moving into the sanctuary for more fun, a time of worship, and a message from the bible shared by one of our leaders. We strive to make our teaching spiritually significant but also approachable for those who are new to faith. From there we divide into smaller gathering of students of the same grade and gender to discuss the teaching and ask their own questions. Students get picked up on the front patio at 8:30 PM.

SUNDAY MORNINGS*

9-10 AM

On Sunday mornings (except for the first Sunday of the month) we gather with our middle school students during our 9:00 worship service to connect, have fun, and open the bible together. These bible study times involve a lot of student participation and discussion. We usually have good breakfast snack for students too.

*(The exception is on the first weekend of the month: Instead of our normal program on the first Sunday of the month we invite students to join their families in our worship service so that they can participate in communion with our church community.)
