Statistically, the transition out of children’s ministry is a place where many people fall away from the church. This is a time is when many children struggle to find their place in the Church. Intermeds is our preteen program to help with this transition through providing a place where preteens feel like they belong and helping them connect with God and His word at a personal level.
Sunday MorningsIntermeds meets ever two week on a Sunday morning in the school term after the notices. We meet in upstairs room above the Foyer, where they have a chance to engage with the Bible in a preteen specific way. There is lots of space for fun, conversation and questions. Our preteen team is fantastic and excited to lead your student this year!
Every other Sunday they get to participate in the service with the rest of the congregation, to learn how to worship with other ages and to see what it looks like to participate in the Body of Christ. This is an important part of what we do. The research shows us that students that learn to be part of the church and not just their age specific group are more likely to stay in church throughout their lives. |
Friday Night Youth GroupEver two weeks on Friday night in the school term, we have our Intermeds Youth Group night from 6:30-8:00pm. This night is to give your preteen a taste for youth group is like and to help them transition into youth group in the coming years. The night is designed with two main goals in mind. The first is to help preteens build godly friendships that will continue through their teenage years. The second is to give them opportunities to think beyond themselves and to invite their friends to join them in hearing the gospel.
