A ministry dedicated to connecting preteen students with God and each other.
Our Route 56 program is for students in grades 5 and 6. Within our Route 56 program your student can participate in Sunday School, Connections, and/or Bible Study. We invite you to take a look at our Route 56 programming opportunities below for more information.
Sundays
Sunday School
9:45-10:45 a.m. | Room 120
Students develop a passion for God’s word and continue to nourish their lifelong relationship with God as they enjoy doughnuts and spend time studying scripture through large group devotions and small group activities.
Connections
4:30-6:30 p.m. | Room 120 & 148
On Sunday nights students and leaders engage in large and small group activities, enjoy a meal, and fellowship with one another. Through music and drumming, we will experience fun, creative ways to worship in order to build community, explore our faith, and learn more about God’s character together. With the music we learn, we will have the opportunity to participate in worship services here in our church, as well as out in the community/world on Music and Mission trips.
Wednesdays
Bible Study
5:00-6:00 p.m. | Room 120
Students build relationships with their peers and leaders while spending concentrated time in prayer and discovery of God’s word in a small Bible study setting.
