Middle School
{ 7TH AND 8TH GRADE }
When We Meet
SUNDAY MORNINGS { 8:45-10:15 }
This is our “big event” each week. Join junior high students from all over Atlanta as we worship God together and hear a message from God’s Word designed just for you.
WEEKLY DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS { Sunday, 5:00 P.M.-6:30 P.M. }
D-groups meet during the school year and are organized by grade and gender. These groups are designed for you to get together with other students for fellowship, Bible study, prayer, and service. These groups are designed to enhance the teaching you will receive at STS on Sunday mornings.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT FELLOWSHIP { 6:00 P.M.-7:15 P.M. }
This is a time for middle school students to gather for games and fellowship and to be challenged with Biblical truth and how it applies to their lives. Wednesday Night Fellowship is a casual, fun environment which is a great time for bringing friends. Join us for dinner from 5:00 pm– 6:00 pm ($6)
