"The Middle School Ministry of NEPC exists to help guide students to relate their daily thoughts, emotions, actions, and decisions to the God who is a work to transform their lives." -adapted by Rick Dunn
 
"As a college student, I remember connecting strongly to what Dunn said about youth ministry.  It is my passion to see students connect the truths of the Gospel to their everyday lives.  With the temptation to compartmentalize our life, "school life", "church life", "sports life", "home life", we want to be challenged together to be one person, pursuing Jesus, and receiving the love and sonship He pours out on us."

ON SUNDAYS

Sunday School (9:45 - 10:45 a.m.) - Our atmosphere on Sunday mornings before worship is to come together as a large group to fellowship, eat donuts and play games before we split into two groups (a guys class and a girls class) to learn biblical principles taught by dedicated teachers who love students! Check us out in the D-100 Hall.

Supper and Small Groups (5:30 - 7:00 p.m.) - Come out and eat a $2.00 supper with us and then head to a small group (guys and girls separate). This is an environment where we are encouraged to grow and share, while learning about Biblical truths.

ON WEDNESDAYS

Connect (6:30 - 7:30 p.m.) - This is our large group environment. Each grade is divided to rotate through different activity stations (teaching, games, recreation, prayer emphasis). High energy and lots to do and learn.

Summer Camp - Go Camp: Summer is great because of Go Camp (okay, it's because there's no school.) You will LOVE this camp or your money back (just kidding about that last part.)
