Preteen Ministry

The Preteen Ministry is here to help 4th-5th Graders grow in their relationship with Jesus. Through weekly worship gatherings, small group ministry, and awesome events throughout the year, we’re teaching preteens to know God’s love, trust His word, and live in His joy. And we’ll be making some amazing memories along the way!

Join our team and help 4th-5th Graders grow in their relationship with Jesus.


Our weekly gatherings are a full worship service that’s designed just for students this age. Each gathering includes a large group time with worship and Bible teaching. Gatherings also include a breakout time for small group discussion and prayer.


We also have several events throughout the year including summer camp and a very cool multi-day summer experience at CBC’s Central campus. Throughout the school year, we host a variety of parties and events designed to help the student make friends and build genuine community with each other.


Opportunities to serve with the preteen ministry include: Experience Team, Large Group Team, and Small Group Team. The various leadership roles within these teams cover everything that happens in the ministry from welcoming first time guests to leading worship to shepherding a small group of students. We would love to connect with you about the ministry and the many ways you could serve our amazing students. Complete the interest form to learn more or to take the next step to serve!
