MERGE is a dedicated group for 5th and 6th grade students who are ready to grow in their faith, make friends, and learn about God in a fun and welcoming environment. MERGE is specifically designed to help preteens navigate the transition between children’s ministry and youth group, offering engaging activities, Bible study, and fellowship that meet them where they are.

Who Can Join?

MERGE is open to all students in 5th and 6th grade. Whether they’re new to the church or have been attending for years, MERGE offers a welcoming community where every student is valued and included.

When and Where Do We Meet?

Our Youth Group offers multiple opportunities to join:

Sunday Mornings: MERGE meets in the Student Ministry Activity Center (SMAC) for Bible study and group activities designed for preteens.

Wednesday Evenings: Join us mid-week for an interactive evening of games, fellowship, and faith-building lessons, also held at SMAC.
