Middle School

Welcome to TRIBE!

TRIBE is for middle school students, 6th 8th grade.  We connect students to God, the church, and each other by sharing the relevant truth of the gospel. We desire to partner with parents to equip students to:

Grow in their faith.

Hear, O Israel:  The Lord our God, The Lord is one.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.  These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.  Impress them on your children.
Deuteronomy 6:4-7a

Live out Jesus’ call to make disciples.

And Jesus came and said to them, «All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Matthew 28: 19-20

What's Going On

Life Groups

Sundays, 9:15am & 11am

Student Center

We have created a space in Life Groups for students to connect with each other and a Jesus-following adult, around the Word of God each week. We encourage students to attend worship with their family and life groups during the time their family attends life group. If the family only attends worship on Sunday mornings, then please worship together as a family and have your student join us Wednesday for MIDweek.

MIDweek

Wednesdays, 6:30pm–8pm

Student Center

MIDweek is our Jesus-centered worship service that gives opportunities for students to love and lead others but also to be poured into through a time of singing praises and studying God’s Word. Games, food from the snack shack and fellowship begins at 6pm. Service begins soon after.

Join us this summer for an awesome opportunity to serve our community and grow in your faith! Our Middle School Missions Days are designed to help students make a real impact right here in Union County while building friendships and having fun along the way.

We have two opportunities to participate: Wednesday, July 29th and Wednesday, August 5th | 8:15am-1:30pm

Each day will begin at the Student Center, where we’ll gather, pray, and get ready for the day ahead. From there, students will head out in small groups alongside leaders to serve with local organizations that are making a difference in the lives of people all across Union County. These projects may include helping with food ministries, serving at community outreach centers, assisting with local nonprofits, and more.

After a meaningful morning of serving, we’ll return to the Student Center to enjoy lunch together

TRIBE Night

August 14-15 | 6pm - 7am

Student Center

8th graders—this is it. Your final middle school memory with TRIBE before stepping into high school. Let’s celebrate it together with a night you’ll never forget!

The night kicks off Friday at 6PM with check-in and dinner, giving you time to hang out with friends. From there, we’ll move into powerful teaching and worship sessions—reflecting on where you’ve been and getting excited for what’s ahead.

Around midnight, we’ll head off-campus for an activity that’s sure to bring plenty of laughs and memories. After we return, the night continues with music, dancing, games, and all the fun you’d expect from your last big night as middle schoolers. We’ll winddown with a movie before wrapping up at 7AM Saturday morning as the sun rises on a new chapter.

Don’t miss this chance to celebrate, connect, and step into high school together—this is your send-off!
