Middle School Ministry (FUEL)


fuel_2.jpgWhat is FUEL? Is it For Understanding Eternal Life? Or maybe it’s because we’re Forever Under Eternal Love. Forging Uniquely Evangelistic Lives? Whatever you think, FUEL is a bunch of middle school students (6th-8th grade) and their adult mentors trying to figure out what it means to live for Christ when you’re a ‘Tweener—definitely not an easy road to drive in this day an age.

Whether you are driving on empty or living a high-octane life for God, FUEL is THE PLACE for middle school to let Jesus take the wheel of your life. Why not? You don’t have a license anyway!

FUEL meets Sundays @ 10:15 AM in the middle school room. We have monthly events for you and your friends.

Want something during the week? Our AWANAS has a middle school program Tuesdays @ 6 PM.

Meet our Leaders:

 Julie Smith (Small Group Leader)

I began working in Middle School ministry to be with my own middle schoolers, but now I have grown to just adore the girls we have every Sunday.

 

 

Stephanie Jones (Awana Trek leader—7th& 8th graders)

I work with the Awana Trek group because the need was there 8 years ago and because they have the best snacks ever!  Actually, I remember how challenging my own middle school years were, and I hope to help students grow spiritually.  It is inspiring to see so many "Trekkers" grounded in the word of Christ.  I am married to Tod and have 3 kids-- Dale (12), Rebecca (10), and Luke (1). 

 

 Robb Hyden (Certified Game Expert, Awana Trek & Small Group Leader)

I work with middle schoolers because I remember how impressionable I was at that age and would love to encourage and support your teens. I am married to a wonderful woman and mother, Rachel, and I have two beautiful girls, Faith-9 & Mackenzie-6 1/2. I became a Christian at the age of 5, but really understood and committed my life to Him at the age of 16. I am so glad that you allow me to work and have fun with your kids.

 

Tod Jones (Small Group Leader)

I’m married to Stephanie Jones and we have 3 kids.  I enjoyed leading the 6th boys’ small group and attending FUEL events!  

 

Daryl Gish (Small Group Leader)

Daryl is a new recruit to FUEL.  We have discovered he is quite the Bible scholar and are exited to have him lead a small group.  Daryl is married to Allison and they have 3 kids.  

 

Kristina Johnson (Small Group Leader) 

Kristina is our young and energetic leader.  When she is not busy studying he leads a small group and helps with FUEL events.

 

Corey Braswell (Small Group Leader) 

Corey serves as our FUEL bodyguard.  He is also an excellent small group & game leader.  Corey is such an asset to the ministry of FUEL, we’ve deemed him volunteer for life.  

 

 

Sean Donnellan (Computer Tech) 

Sean has brought his computer expertise to FUEL taking care of all our tech needs.  He also fills in as a small group leader.
