Middle School Mania
Attention all students who are entering the 5th, 6th, or 7th grade in August 2026! Middle School Mania 2026 is happening June 8-12!
Everything is the perfect word to describe whatever means the most in life. So, what if you could have everything you need for everything in life? Sound too good to be true? Well, it might not be that far off. According to Jesus, one thing matters more than anything else: love. So, what would it look like if love were everything in our lives? In the way we treat others, in the way we see God, and even in the way we view ourselves. When love is everything, we discover the kind of life God created us to live in the first place.
During the week, students will find practical ways to apply Jesus' greatest commandment to their everyday lives. As students learn how to love God, others, and their own lives they'll also discover that Jesus' words and example are everything they need for the life they really want!
