Celebrate Easter at one of our five services right here at CAV.
Middle School
Sunday at 8:30am, 10:00am, and 11:30am
Helping students develop and pursue a faith of their own
We understand that navigating the middle school years can be complicated. At Elevate Middle School our goal is to create a community that surrounds students throughout these complex years as they cultivate an authentic faith.
Our mission is to lead middle school students into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and to help them develop and pursue a faith of their own.
How do we accomplish this? Three key components: relationships, environments, and parent partnership. This is how we break it down.
The Breakdown:
Relationships
- Small group leaders
- Small groups
- Friendships
Environments
- Sunday mornings
- Small group outings
- Student events
Parent Partnership
- Stay connected through social media and emails

What to Expect
Our Sunday morning services are designed specifically to engage middle schoolers in authentic community with their friends and with small groups. Your student will enter an environment with games, music, and a message formatted to get them thinking outside themselves.
What is the best way to get my student plugged in to Elevate Middle School?
- Keep them coming consistently. Get them involved in their small groups regularly on Sunday mornings, and make sure they attend our events like camp, Walking Wisely, and other events during the week.
Who will be my child’s small group leader?
- You will find photos of all of our small group leaders, and the grade they serve, below. These amazing men and women know the value of relationships in community. They sign on to serve for 2-3 years to invest in the lives of students before they’ve even met them. The relationship your student builds with them has the potential to be one of the most influential of their life. We encourage you to get to know them and leverage that relationship as an important ally in your relationship with your middle school student.
