Welcome to Middle School Ministry

Middle School Ministry

Faith That Grows. Friendships That Last.

Middle school is a season of new experiences, important questions, and discovering who we are. At Christ Lincoln, our Middle School Ministry provides a place for students in 6th–8th grade to build meaningful friendships, explore God's Word, and grow in their identity as children of God. Through Bible study, small groups, Confirmation, and opportunities to serve, we walk alongside students as they develop a faith rooted in Jesus Christ.

Grow in Faith, Build Community, Live It Out

We believe the middle school years are an important time to build a foundation of faith that lasts. Students need a place where they can ask questions, discover what God's Word teaches, and build relationships with peers and trusted adult leaders. Through biblical teaching, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences, we're here to help students grow in their understanding of Jesus and discover what it means to live as His followers.

Confirmation at Christ Lincoln

Confirmation is an opportunity for baptized students to explore the foundations of the Lutheran Christian faith and grow in their understanding of God's Word. Through teaching, small groups, and opportunities to put faith into practice, students develop habits of discipleship that can last a lifetime. Our Confirmation Track prepares students to publicly confess their faith in the fall of their ninth-grade year.

Through it all, our hope is that every student discovers a community where they belong, leaders who care about them, and a Savior whose love never changes.
