Middle School Ministry

HELPING YOU EXPERIENCE THE FULLNESS OF JESUS CHRIST

WHAT IS MSM?

MSM exists to help students grow into BRAVE disciples through life-on-life community and God’s word. Every week, students grades 6-8 will have opportunities to worship the Lord, hear Biblical and catalytic teaching, and dive deeper in community through small groups. No matter where your student is at in their faith journey, all are welcome!

Plan your Visit

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Everything we do at MSM revolves around the goal of experiencing the fullness of Jesus Christ in our lives. Through all that we do, whether it be weekend gatherings, camps and retreats, mission trips, or having a blast together, the goal is ultimately to know Jesus more and experience more of His presence and power in our lives.

If you like to have fun, you are going to want to call MSM your home. Every week, we will have a variety of games that create community and healthy competition. We have ping pong, 9-square, video games, corn hole, foosball; you name it. But, our ultimate hope is for you to meet men and women who can walk alongside you as friends and support to help you grow in your walk with Jesus.

We don't believe in any "junior member" of the body of Christ. If you are a middle school student, you are the church of TODAY, not the church of tomorrow. What that means is we want to help you see the ways God wants to use you to impact the world around you right here and now. We believe that if you go after Jesus with everything you have, the world around you will take notice and we will see the world changed through you.

BRAVE STUDENTS STAFF

MATT JOHNSON, Director of Middle School Ministries

Matt came from a multitude of management positions across many different industries including food service and construction. This background has given him a strong administration skillset to compliment his gift of teaching and equipping him to succeed in all ends of a ministry. He has a huge heart for serving and felt that the Lord called him and his family to vocational ministry in a life of full service to expanding the kingdom. He is married to an amazing woman named AJ (and who he would call his SIGNIFICANTLY better half) and they have two children, Ezekiel and Lydia. Together they have a one flesh calling to middle school and have enthusiastically and obediently answered Gods calling as a family.
