(Sundays 10:55am - Meets during service in a separate space during the adult message)
This is a group that caters to our 4th and 5th Graders ( 9-12 yr olds) who are ready to transition from Kids Ministry into a more hands-on discipleship and discussion based approach. This pre-teen program works alongside both our Gracekidz and Youth Ministry to help kids during this transition phase between childhood and their teenage years. The goal in this phase is helping kids own their faith and learn some life foundations.God’s Word is ALIVE and we want to make it come ALIVE to the pre-teens!
Catalyst is a ministry aimed at the 13-17 age band in Word of Grace. We learn about God and His Word in fun and exciting ways in midweek meetings. For 2025-28 we will be working through three specific themes- spiritual growth, character development, and life skills using the SEEN curriculum.
Wyld-Life(Jr High) / Young Life (Sr High & College)
We encourage our teens from Junior and senior high to engage with a local school district and IUP Young Life groups that meet during the week. While it is not a ministry run through Word of Grace, several leaders and ministry workers are part of the Word of Grace family. Learn more about this at: Indiana Young Life.
Young Life's mission is to introduce middle school, high school, and college students to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith. They introduce students to Jesus through Club and Camp and help them grow in their faith through Campaigners. They currently have Young Life at Indiana, United, and River Valley high schools, Young Life College at IUP, and Wyldlife for middle schoolers in United & Indiana school districts! Together, we want to know Jesus, know students, and make Jesus known together in Indiana County!
