For Parents

(Parents: Please email us if you would like to receive email updates about the Middle School ministry.)

Greeting to the parents.

Dear parents,

As a youth ministry it is our goal to work alongside you as a teammate in your son or daughter’s faith journey. It is our prayer that your teenager’s “heart will be enlightened in order that they may know the hope to which He has called them, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power for those who believe” (Eph. 1:18-19).

We want your son or daughter to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. In fact, every program that we offer has been intentionally designed to foster growth in your child’s life. We want to make you aware of the high caliber events that will be available this winter for your Middle School child. We invite you to encourage your Middle School child to participate in these events.

Weekend Services Our Saturday service is called [2:42] and meets at 7:00pm following the Emmaus Service. We also meet Sunday mornings at 9:00am and 10:30am in the Middle School room. The format for Saturday is unique, but the content of the lessons for all three weekend services is the same. The weekend services are designed for maturing students who want to grow in their faith..

Youth Group is a great place for students to connect with other middle school students who love Jesus. The students worship God in a fun setting and get to blow off some steam after a long day in schol. There is a time of large group teaching and games followed by a smal group element where students can grow in your relationship with Christ and with each other. Wednesday nights, 6:15-8:00pm, at Bamber Valley School (SW Rochester).

Foundations is an 8-month long course where we study 13 major doctrines found in the Bible. We meet the 1st and 3rd Saturdays October through May, 5:00-6:30pm at Autumn Ridge Church. Students will be required to read 100 Essential Elements of the Christian Faith, by R.C. Sproul, memorize 15 Bible verses, and write a statement of faith. Cost is $75. Click here to register.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us.

Serving together,
