The Groove — 4th & 5th graders dig into the Bible to find answers to the tough questions they are asking about faith, relationships, and the choices they make. Each week they explore several key verses in the Bible that relate to the topic being studied that act to give them a foundation for what the Bible says about these issues. In each case, we strive to help the 4th/5th graders understand the Bible message through small group discussion and peer relationship building in a relevant, fun environment.

High Five is a fifth grade only ministry that is geared toward serving our community, reaching out to fellow fifth-graders, and participating in and hearing God’s Word.  We will have events throughout the school year that are a great time for all who participate. We want fifth-graders to not only have an awesome experience, but to be living out their faith in tangible ways.  The events are on various Fridays throughout the school year.

We also need parents to help us by participating in these events. We are looking for parents to help with both pre-event planning and during the event. If you would like more information, or are interested in helping in either aspect, it would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me at (916) 985-3245 x 128 or email me: Jon Ingraham.
