Middle School
Middle School Ministry at Triumphant Love is focused on building lifelong friendships and dipping our toes in the water of call, leadership, and helping to figure out why we believe what we believe. We acheive this through traditional faith education as well as service and fellowship opportunities. We also offer classes and fellowship for parents of middle schoolers to help our families thrive in this new phase of life.
Our Middle School Ministry program offers many events and activities throughout the year. To see dates and times for events and activities, visit our calendar and event registration page. If you would like to learn more about the Middle School Ministry fill out a Connections Card.
