Middle School
Inviting the Next Generation to Take Their Next Steps with Jesus
About Middle School Ministry
Our mission is to invite the next generation to take their next steps with Jesus. We believe that every Middle Schooler has a next step to take, whether it's putting their faith in Jesus, learning how to read their Bible, choosing to be baptized, joining a Life Group, or even just being willing to show up to church. We want to help each student discover what their next step is, and take it, while having tons of fun!

Fall Retreat is for both high school and middle schools students. HSM and MSM will be running two separate retreats at Ocoee Ridge Camp and will come together for worship and teaching. This is an incredible weekend for students to spend extended time with their life groups, have fun, and engage in worship and teaching.

Life Groups
Life Groups in MSM meet on Wednesday nights, 6:30-8:00pm in homes around Knoxville. Groups consist of 2-3 leaders and 8-12 students, and are grade and gender specific. Life Groups are an important part of our ministry because we believe that true transformation happens in community.
If you have a student interested in joining a Life Group, please contact Carleen Cuthell.
