ELEVATE: 4TH & 5TH GRADE GATHERING
Wednesdays • 5:00–8:00PM • Asbury Hall
Elevate is a mid-week ministry where 4th and 5th graders come together to have fun, build friendships, and grow in their faith. Each Wednesday night is packed with energy and purpose. We play awesome games, share a meal, and dig into God’s Word to discover more about His amazing love for us. Through interactive lessons, worship, and small group time, kids deepen their relationship with Jesus and learn how to live out their faith in everyday life.
Elevate isn’t just something to attend—it’s a place to belong, grow, and be encouraged! Come hang out with us, bring a friend, and get ready to Elevate your week!
