Middle School
Middle school is a formative period in the life of a youth as it represents a time in which students are beginning to examine their faith and make it their own.
Our Purpose
The Middle School Ministry at Berean has two primary purposes. First, to ignite and nurture an authentic and passionate relationship with Jesus Christ in middle schoolers. This involves creating a comfortable space in which youth can explore their faith and ask tough questions. Second, to come alongside parents and support them in their efforts to disciple their middle school-aged youth.
Community and relationship are important elements in how Middle School Ministry takes place, beginning first and foremost with a true trust and faith in Jesus Christ.
Our Program
During the school year, Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights are the main times for connecting. Sunday School for middle school is from 9:00-10:00 am. This is a time mainly for whole group, in-depth studies into God's word. We also meet on Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:15 pm. Teaching, small group discussions, praise & worship, and group games is the format on these evenings. Throughout the year, various service and outreach opportunities are also offered. Sundays we’ll be meeting in room 101 and Wednesdays you will find us hanging out in room 132.

High School
The Senior High Ministry strives to ignite high school students (grades 9-12) into a passionate relationship with Christ. Our mission is to assist parents in mentoring their youth to become joy-filled, strong, obedient followers of Christ.
Our Purpose
Assist parents and families to help their senior high student adopt the practice of treasuring Christ. Our ministry is strongly based on building relationships with God and each other, becoming real with each other (eliminate the "Sunday School" mask), and taking risks in our pursuit of holy living.
Our Program
During the school year, our program consists of a weekly Sunday School where the group is , fellowship, and a discussion time. Throughout the year, we offer service projects, activities, missions' trips and retreats along with mentorships between students and leaders. While we feel program is important, we strive to ensure we don't lose our focus on the relationship we have with God and with each other. BCC High School Leadership Team.

Overarching goals
We desire to create a safe and fun environment where students can interact with peers and find love and encouragement from a trained leadership team.
We desire to share the timeless truths of Scripture in creative and relevant ways that will connect to everyday life.
We desire to equip parents and partner with them as they strive to train their students to know Jesus Christ in a personal way. Faith in Jesus Christ for eternal salvation is only the beginning. An intimate, life altering walk with Jesus in one's daily life is the ultimate goal.
We desire to provide opportunities for the students to express their love and commitment to Jesus Christ by serving others with their individual gifts and abilities. Come on in and check out what is going on in BCC middle and high school youth ministry.
Our youth ministry at Berean is comprised of Middle (6th-8th grade) and High School (9th-12th grade) groups. The overarching goal of the student ministry leadership team is to prepare middle and high school students to own their faith to be able to share their faith.
Permission Form
In an effort to ensure student safety, we ask that a permission form be complete for both Middle and High School students each year. This form is for all events that take place outside of our usual Sunday morning and Wednesday night activities at the church campus.
