I am the 6th grade pastor at Forest Hill Church in Charlotte, NC. Currently, we have an average attendance of around 60. We have a very thriving Family Ministry, including the Big Deal guys. You may have seen them at Orange or on video. We have also just made the change to 7-12 grade for our student ministry.
Our current model for 6th grade looks very similar to that of many student ministries. 2-3 songs at the beginning of the hour, then a 15 minute message, followed by 30 minutes of small groups. Wam, bam, all in one hour.
I am curious to see if any of you out there in Orange Land are running a stand alone 6th grade ministry. If so, what does it look like?
