Middle Schoolers – we have an awesome place just for you! If you are a student in middle school, and live in the Jacksonville area, then we then we want to meet you!

Dynamic CrossTraining classes build the lives of young teens on Sunday morning... At 9 am every Sunday Morning there is a class made specifically for you. Each class is separated by grade and location around the city. So you will be with friends that live close to you or may even attend your school! Here are some of the activities we take part of each Sunday.

    * Principles for Powerful Living (Bible Study)
    * Mind Building (Scripture Memory)
    * Telling the Truth (Evangelism Skills)
    * Hitting the Books (Quiet Time)
    * Talking with God (Prayer)
    * Growing Together (Godly Friendships)

Xtreme Connection draws Middle Schoolers from all over Jacksonville on Wednesday nights. Where else in the city can you have a fun room called "The House" to call your own. Almost every Wednesday we meet together and have a blast. Some of the things that are involved each week are:

    * Fun Games
    * Cool Skits
    * Great Music
    * Singing and Worship
    * Inspirational Teaching
    * One-on-One Discipleship Training

Come just once to check it out and you won't want to leave. Make sure you invite all your friends to come with you and see the fun that's going on downtown.
