MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY
Helping Middle School students know Christ and make Christ known!
At Red Hill Lutheran Church & School, we believe that middle school is a crucial and integral part of a student's faith journey. We want to facilitate a place where students can grow, build meaningful relationships, and truly get to know Jesus for themselves!
Please see below for our weekly gatherings, upcoming events, and other information that may help you and your family!
JUMP: YFM MIDDLE SCHOOL
SUMMER OVERNIGHT CAMP 2025
July 28th - August 1st, 2025
Middle School Summer Overnight Camp is the ultimate place for your incoming 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade student! During this five-day camp, we'll explore how we are invited to trust God as we JUMP into our faith. This camp is an incredible opportunity for students to connect with their peers, build meaningful friendships, and most importantly, an opportunity for them to challenge themselves to grow deeper in their faith, through the teaching of God's Word, worship, and so much more!
This summer, Red Hill Lutheran Church & School is heading to a beautiful, private, gated 5-acre estate in Palm Desert! Our group will have exclusive access to two pools, a large pond with an outdoor pavilion, a regulation-size tennis court that converts into multiple pickleball courts, plus cabanas and fire pits for evening gatherings. Inside, students can enjoy a pool table, board games, and plenty of space to relax and bond. Whether they're soaking up the sun, playing sports, swimming, or unwinding with friends, this retreat offers the perfect balance of fun and intentionality for all to create lasting memories with their friends and JUMP deeper into their faith!
If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact the Student Ministry Coordinator, Tim Rivera.

Midweek Teaching Series For may
Some of the most incredible pieces of art were created when the artist wondered, "What if I ... ?" Their curiosity inspired them to look at what was in front of them to imagine something entirely different. As we grow closer to God, we realize that God asks us to do something similar—to look through the hurt, pain, and evil in the world and wonder what it might look like for things to be different.
In this 4-week series from the New Testament and Prophets, we'll wonder about what it might look like to be a part of making a difference as we explore questions like what if God wants you to meet someone's needs, rest, help others heal, or make wrong things right?
Want to learn and grow alongside your kid as we go through this teaching series? You can! Spend a few minutes each week studying the passages of Scripture we'll be teaching, praying about what God wants to do in you and your family, and growing by putting God's words into practice in your own life.
