FAQ
Have some questions about Local Church for 6–8th graders? These may help you!
Our 6–8th grade services are held on Sundays at 11:00 a.m.
Students should stop by our check-in desk inside the Student room when they arrive. This allows us to greet and get to know them.
Before the service starts, students can enjoy pre-service fun and hangout time. This includes outdoor games on the turf, shooting hoops on the outdoor basketball court, or being inside with video and card games. There are also plenty of couches and tables to hang out and socialize with friends and leaders.
We recommend that parents and students have a plan for reconnection after the service. Parents can either come to the Student Room to pick up their students, or they may decide to meet inside the church lobby or at a courtyard for a convenient and seamless reunion.

Local Students Mountain Weekend
All 6th-8th graders are invited to join us for Mountain Weekend!
We’ll be taking our middle schoolers to Woodlands Camp in Cleveland, GA for a weekend retreat. Students will spend the weekend with their small group; experiencing awesome worship sessions, large group messages, and small group time.
The weekend will also be packed with some great free time options and some amazing meals. Students will spend this weekend learning more about God, growing closer with Christ and getting to bond more with their small groups.
In order to keep costs as low as possible, registration does not include transportation. Drop off and pick up will be onsite at Camp Woodlands in Cleveland, GA (approximately 55 mins from our Forsyth Church and 42 mins from our Dawson Church).
