LAUNCH 2023

|

May 21 is Launch at MISSION!

Here’s everything you need to make it easy peasy.

Each year around this time, our Kids and Youth Ministries launches students into their next phase based on their age/grade. For some, this means they get to experience an exciting, new environment. For others, there is virtually no change.

During the weekend services of May 7 and 14, kids 4-years-old through 6th grade have the opportunity to preview their new environments/groups.

The info below will help you prepare for Launch Sunday, May 21, 2023. Please select a dropdown box below for more info on each ministry area!
