The BIG Ministry

Welcome to Year 16 of the BIG Ministry!

What is BIG?

  • A Community Ministry for Students Grades 5-8
  • Takes place EVERY OTHER Friday Night from 6:30-9:00 PM during the School Year. 
  • Admission is $5 or 3 non-perishable food items (supports Gifts of Grace Food Ministry)
  • High energy, fast paced, with tons of games, prizes, and fun!

What Happens at BIG?

  • Crazy Games and Prizes - like racing to unwrap a candy bar while wearing oven mitts. 
  • Life Lessons - relevant topics designed to help middle schoolers handle difficult situations and issues that are reinforced with scripture. Our lessons always point to Jesus.
  • BIG Activities & Fun - Whether its participating in the BIG game upstairs (dodgeball, floor hockey, arena football, basketball, glow in the dark soccer, etc.), having fun at the video gaming center (65 inch TV’s), creating masterpieces in our very own Arts & Crafts Studio, playing pool, air hockey, foosball, foursquare, or just hanging out with friends, BIG is designed to be FUN.
  • Grabbing Grub - Students are able to purchase snacks and refreshments at the snack bar, which offers free popcorn, and other items for purchase, such as drinks, french fries, chicken nuggets, assorted candy, freeze pops, and occasionally, pizza or walking tacos. Don't worry parents, everything is always $2.00 or under!

Why We Do It:

The purpose BIG is to offer a group of kids in our community a place to hang out and be themselves with people who truly care about them. We show and teach the unconditional love, forgiveness, and grace of Christ.
