Altitude
Middle School Students
Altitude is our weekly environment that gives 7th and 8th grade students their own place to explore and grow in their relationship with God and others. Every Tuesday at 6:30pm, students will experience games, great worship music, hear a message designed specific to their age and connect in a small group with the same leader and students each week.
At Grace, we believe that life is not meant to be lived alone and relationships are formed in circles, not rows. We also believe that small groups are the glue that hold everything together and as we grow larger, we should grow smaller.
In small groups, students will be able to connect with a consistent, caring leader and the same community of friends each week, as well as be able to grow together and share life together.
CURRENT SERIES

So much of the transformative power of the Christmas narrative lies in the reality that Jesus was born and raised in a place so small and inconsequential that it appears on no maps prior to the 1st century. This series encourages middle schoolers to consider how a kid from nowhere (Jesus) changes everything: how you see your situation, how you see yourself and everyone else, and how you see your fear.
