Ways to Participate in Middle School Ministry
Tuesday Night Bible Study
During the week, we gather to hang out and go through a study that’s more topically focused while using the Bible as our guide. It’s a great place for our teens not only to be immersed in biblical truth, but to deepen their friendships and connections with one another. Middle school meets on Tuesday nights from 6-7.30 pm, running from August to May.

Sunday Night Youth Group
Each year, we engage in long-term studies through books of the Bible on Sunday nights to drink deep from God’s timeless wisdom, in recent years going through 1 & 2 Peter, Judges–Kings, and the Gospel of Mark. Get connected with our newsletter which contains up-to-date information. Middle school meets Sundays from 5-7 pm at First Presbyterian.
On most months during the school year, we have the first Sunday set aside for a middle and high school combined night, expanding on our usual study with the youth worship team and time for games.

Sunday School
On Sunday mornings we welcome 7-8 grade students to experience Biblical, gospel-centered teaching that is relevant to life in middle school. Join us at 9 am in the Youth Room for coffee and hot chocolate, followed by a lesson and discussion time.
Confirmation (6th Grade)
We have a great tradition here at First Presbyterian in our Confirmation class. Our students spend their 6th grade year of Sunday school in confirmation. This is the class that prepares students for making a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ and thereby joining our church. Of course, most importantly, this is the year we explore what it means to have a personal relationship with Christ. Confirmation starts in August and culminates with a ceremony in May.
Our program is entitled: The Top 35 Bible Passages: The Verses You Can’t Live Without. We’ll study the essential content of the Scriptures with a particular focus on how to know God through Jesus Christ as he is revealed in his Word. Indeed, of all the things your child will study and do this year, none will be as important as Confirmation class. We can make such a bold claim not because we at the church are so great, but because God’s Word is the truth that leads to everlasting life. We want your children to have the knowledge that leads to salvation and an eternal loving relationship with God. Please contact Jessica for information on how to get your 6th grader involved in Confirmation (jessica@fpcbrg.org).
