MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY

Helping Middle School students know Christ and make Christ known!

At Red Hill Lutheran Church & School, we believe that middle school is a crucial and integral part of a student's faith journey. We want to facilitate a place where students can grow, build meaningful relationships, and truly get to know Jesus for themselves!


Please see below for our weekly gatherings, upcoming events, and other information that may help you and your family!

  • AFTER YOU

    Midweek Teaching Series For November

    We all know God wants us to love others—it’s one of the most important things Jesus taught. But let’s be honest… actually doing it? That’s not always easy, especially when life feels busy or like people aren’t easy to love.


    In this 4-week series from the New Testament, we’ll explore how Jesus shows us what loving others really looks like. He challenges us to move away from the world’s “me first” attitude and embrace his “after you” message as we follow his example. We’ll learn that Jesus shows us how to notice others’ needs, Jesus asks us to care for each other, God’s Spirit helps us serve others, and God invites us to share our joy.
