Elevate Activities

ELEVATE Student Ministry helps you AIM your life at God and have a lot of fun doing it.  AIM meets weekly and provides opportunity for spiritual growth.

ELEVATE Student Ministry offers groups every week for students to come fellowship, learn, and dive into some great discussions with their friends. 
The groups meet at various times throughout the week and are separated by gender and grade.  These AIM Groups help students grow in their relationship with Christ.


Vacation Bible School

Power Lab

If you are planning on helping with Vacation Bible School (VBS) this summer (and you should be planning on it ;) ) we need you to register at www.fumcwpvbs.org.  Also, remember, if you are planning on going on the Madison County mission trip, helping at VBS is mandatory (we're doing the same program in Madison County!). 


If you have any questions about VBS please direct your questions to Kathy Bradshaw or Laura Lyons.

Fall Kickoff with Jared Hall

If you haven’t seen Jared Hall perform, you are missing out.  The Texas-born Illusionist is no newcomer in any since of the word. He started doing illusions at the age of ten and by the time he was in High School he had become known around town as the magic guy. “I would do tricks everywhere I went. I realized that I could get most anyone’s attention with what I was doing, because they could not explain it,” says Jared. God called Jared to ministry while he was a student in high school in Baytown, Texas. While in school, he began using illusions, comedy, and even mind-blowing stunts to capture the attention of students and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them.

Student Leadership Team

Do you like the wild and crazy things we do on Sunday nights? Want to see something new happen at ELEVATE?  Well, every Monday at 5:00pm in the ELEVATE Student Office we plan those things, but we need your help. We are always looking to improve and for new ideas so that is where you step in. Come and help us plan messages, games and whatever other crazy ideas you can think of!

 


Grade Level Activities

We have grade level activities at various times throughout the year to allow students to come together in fellowship with one another.

Mid-High Madness
Once a month on a Friday night, the mid-highs get together at one of the community churches to have a fun time of fellowship (6th-8th grades only).
