Alpha Middle School Ministries is for all 7th and 8th grade students who are interested in exploring who Jesus Christ is and experiencing the love that he offers us through the cross. We place a strong emphasis on small groups which meet on a weekly basis in order to develop strong relationships with peers and with our adult small group leaders. Our Alpha Middle School Ministries Program includes Wednesday Night Youth Group, Youth Worship Services, Sunday School and 8th Grade Confirmation Class. If you are interested in joining us as we seek to experience the love of Christ we invite to come on Wednesday Nights beginning September 15.

Alpha Mission Trip to Chicago, IL July 15-20, 2012

This year our Alphas will be going to the south side of Chicago to serve with
Roseland Christian Ministries. In addition to being a thriving Christian Reformed Church, RCM also serves their immediate community in three ways. Their Thrift Store offers gently used items to be sold at a reduced price to community members. The Strong Tower, a women's and children's shelter, regularly houses 80 women and children year round. They help women and children get back on their feet through giving them job training and helping them develop interviewing skills. Finally, the Homes Project, has been helping families to buy foreclosed homes through seat equity and their strong mentoring program. Through this ministry families have been able to break the cycle of poverty and allow their children to go to college by borrowing against their home. Our Alphas will be providing support through all three of these ministries. If you are interested in coming please print off this
registration form, and turn it in to Joel by March 25, 2012!
