PreTeen Ministry (The B.E.A.C.H.)
4th - 6th grade
"And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." Luke 2:52
The B.E.A.C.H. (Bible Exploration And Choosing Him) Preteen Ministry exists to partner with families in teaching preteens about the love of Jesus to grow them as disciples for Him.
Why a Preteen Ministry?
Kids in 4th through 6th grade are at a unique age, with different needs, and so it is our desire to offer age-appropriate teaching and programming for them in preparation for their transition into Jr. High. Therefore we value:
- Jesus-Centered - we want preteens to place Jesus at the center of their lives and for all ministry decisions to be focused on Jesus and be determined by seeking first where He is leading.
- Biblical Teaching - we want preteens to be accurately and correctly taught the truth of God’s word and to dig deeper into it, using it to challenge how they live their lives.
- Cultural Relevance - we want preteens to understand how God’s Word affects how they live their life, amidst their specific preteen world and to seek first God’s Kingdom in the midst of their decisions in life.
- Relationships - we want preteens to develop relationships with those that can encourage them spiritually and point them towards God, including leaders (Lifeguards) and mentors who will help guide them to draw closer to God and provide positive role models.
- Fun Environment - we want preteens to enjoy learning God’s word and enjoy making friends and participating in life-changing activities.
- Service - we want preteens to learn that God calls us to be servants of all and to live out what it means to be a servant of Jesus.
- Evangelism - we want preteens to develop relationships with those who do not know Jesus in order to share Him with them.
Sunday Mornings preteens divide into two groups at both the 9:00 and 10:45 hour:
