One of the most difficult hurdles to overcome is the transition from elementary to middle school.

“SWAT MS” is a purpose-driven student ministry that connects the students of today to the world of tomorrow. Because our world diminishes absolute truth and moral norms, it is imperative that Middle School students be transformed by the Word of God, through the Spirit of God, to the Son of God.

The SWAT Middle School Ministry exists to expose middle school students to God’s love, to equip them to exalt God, enjoy other believers, and experience the work of the ministry.

Sunday Morning Bible Study

Sunday Morning is a dynamic worship time in the SWAT Middle School Ministry. Our students grow through memorizing scripture, taking sermon notes and developing a daily quiet time which strengthens their relationship with Jesus Christ.  After meeting in a large group session, students then go to their age appropriate gender- specific Sunday School class. It is in these small groups where friends, fellowship and faith grow.

Ministry Teams and Projects

MBC encourages the middle school students to discover their spiritual gifts and talents. We also believe in spreading God’s love to others in our community and around the world. Whether it is going to a home of an elderly person and doing yard work, cleaning up the litter on a city street, or singing to a group of neighborhood children… we intend to be ministers of God’s love and grace in the best way possible.
