UNITE Kalamazoo Middle School Youth Group

Time: Wednesday night from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.

Place: Room 405 & The Point (Check-In is in the lobby by the worship center)

Each week, we’ll get together for youth group on Wednesday nights in The Point. There will be games, time to hang out with friends, great worship, teaching that will speak to the lives of middle schoolers and time together in small groups where students will be loved and encouraged by caring adults. We’ll also be offering many events throughout the year, including a lock-in, tubing daytrip, Michigan adventure trip and Zero Hour (at WMU), where middle schoolers will be able to hang out with friends, have a lot of fun and connect with God. If you’re a middle schooler and you’re not involved in UNITE Kalamazoo Middle School– you’re missing out!
