| Middle School Ministry God is wonderful and glorious. I pray that his Spirit will make you become strong followers and that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. Stand firm and be deeply rooted in his love. I pray that you and all of God's people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ's love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is. –Ephesians 3.16-19
Middle School is a great time to get involved at Incarnation. Confirmation is a big part of Middle School Ministry and is an opportunity to connect with others in a small group as you learn, serve, and have some fun while preparing to affirm your baptism. It is also a time to worship together in a little different way than on Sundays. But Confirmation isn’t the whole story. Here are other opportunities for making new friends, connecting with old friends, and—mostly importantly—connecting with our God who loves you! If you are an adult volunteer, click here to read Incarnation’s Policy for Protecting Children and Youth. Click here to view the background check form. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!
