YTH Middle School

Summer is just around the corner!! We are so excited about SUMMER CAMPS that are coming up but also we are going to be doing something extra special in July called YTH SUMMER!!

Each Wednesday in July we will be combining our high school and middle school students from our Newburgh and West Campuses on Wednesday nights for a short service and then a fun activity afterwards!

The evenings will start a little earlier at our Newburgh Campus. Here is a quick run-down:

6:00p – Doors Open
6:30p – Service
7:45p – After Service Party
9:00p – Done!

Our evening events will include: Block Party, Game Night, Water Night, Scavenger Hunt, and Movie Night!

Each students will need a liability form completed for our YTH Summer Events.

Wednesday evenings, September-May
Small groups are forming now!  We will begin meeting September 6.  Join us for student small groups that meet throughout the school year.  These groups help students grow closer to God through accountability, Bible study, and mentoring. Small Groups provide a great atmosphere to learn more about God's word, meet people and have fun.

I'm Looking for a Small Group

Mark Silen 
Middle School Pastor 

What can I say about myself… I’ve got a terrific wife, Tammy, and four children bursting with energy… we all think drinking chocolate milk every day is the real deal! I am an avid “Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader” buff, I do pushups before I go to bed & I think Mt. Dew is a legal addictive stimulant that makes the world go 'round. Other than that I believe everyone on the planet should sit at the feet of Jesus on a daily basis to soak up the best thing in life.

Youth Leadership

Attention Student Leaders: If you feel you have a positive influence over others and enjoy using that influence to point people towards Jesus, then you may enjoy being a part of this leadership team. In this leadership role students learn about ways to shepherd other students and set an example for their peers in their speech, life, love, faith, and purity. Applications are accepted each year through July, and interviews are conducted the first week in August.

For details or questions, please contact Mark at 812-518-1431.

Adult Leaders 

If you have a middle school student, or just have a heart for middle schoolers, we'd love to get you plugged into the Middle School Ministry at Crossroads. There are numerous serving opportunities ranging from event set-up and teardown to one-on-one student mentoring. You just need to tell us where you're gifted and how "hands on" you'd like to be. Are You Ready will give you an idea what you're getting in to.

For further information and next steps, please contact Mark at 812-518-1431.

Help, I'm Leading a Small Group!

If you're leading a Small Group, please know that of all the programming we have available, you will have the most direct influence on a middle school student's spiritual development. Also, though, please know that you are not alone! We want to provide you with all the help, all the support, and all the resources you could possibly need. Please start with the Discipleship Plan below, and then contact Sara at 812-518-1406 if there's anything you need.
