NEW MDWK SERIES BEGINNING JAN. 22, 2025 🖊️

Who are we around others? Who do we feel like we need to be in order to be loved? Sometimes we wear masks around thinking that we need to be anything else in order to be accepted, in order to survive. But we are only called to be who God has created us to be. We are called to be free from the masks we wear.

This 3-week series covers the topic of identity and false identity, teaching students the reality of masks in our lives and how to begin the process to take those masks off and live in the freedom of who we really are.

SUNDAY MORNING BREAKFAST CLUB

Students are invited to come hang out with us Sunday mornings for breakfast and discipleship. In February 2025 we are starting a brand new curriculum for Sundays called "Seen".

The First Year
In the first year of SEEN, students are steeped in the foundational beliefs of Christianity as they learn about:
  • Who God is
  • Why we trust His Word
  • Who Jesus is
  • How the Holy Spirit guides us

As They Grow
As students grow in their spiritual knowledge, they’ll be challenged to use this knowledge to develop solid Christian character qualities such as:
  • Respecting authority
  • Gaining wisdom
  • Practicing forgiveness
  • Persevering through difficulties

Application
Students will have the opportunity to put God’s Word into practice as they exercise valuable life skills such as:
  • Using words well
  • Thinking critically
  • Managing anger
  • Choosing purity
