Middle School Connect

Designed for grades 6 - 8

This year, our middle school kids will be using the XP3 Curriculum from our friends at Orange. XP3 represents the 3 relationships mentioned in the greatest commandment: God, self, others. Everything we do is organized through these 3 relationships. Specifically, we want students to experience (1) a love for God that will inspire deeper faith, (2) a love for themselves that will lead to wiser choices, and (3) a love for others that will build stronger relationships. Each week, you and your student will be able to watch our video lesson and then download activities, discussion ideas, and devotions. All materials will be available online. Your family can complete these whenever it suits your schedule.

Want something more? We are also offering a “Zoom” groups each Sunday morning at 9:00 am. These 30-minute versions of our regular in-person classes will be led by trusted Trinity volunteers.  Click here if your child is interested in joining us on Zoom.
