Middle School (6th–8th Grade)
For a lot of middle school kids, it’s all about “me.” And here at Bay Life, we build on that—in a good way.
Our aim is to get our middle school students to own their faith. To realize their relationship with Christ is no longer about what mom and dad believe, but instead, it’s about them owning their own faith.
We want to motivate our middle school students to take personal responsibility for their spiritual health and growth, and to take seriously the Great Commission. Once they start catching on to these simple truths, they’ll naturally realize that it’s not all about “me” … and that will be a beautiful thing to watch.
Each week, students experience a combination of worship, games, a challenging message, and most importantly, interaction with a small group.

REACH TEAMS
“Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.” Psalm 105:1
Our great God has created us to know Him and make Him known among the nations. Each year Bay Life Church sends out over 100 students and adults on trips to proclaim His name, share the gospel of Jesus Christ, and make known His great deeds among the nations for the glory of God. This year we will be offering our students the opportunity again to bring hope and new life to those in South Carolina and through our local Kidapalooza missions team.
2025 REACH TEAMS
Kidapalooza & Kidapalooza Jr. (June 4-6 & June 9-13)
Not only will you have the opportunity to help Children’s Ministry get ready for an awesome Kidapalooza, but you will also help us with KPA Jr.! KPA Jr. is our initiative to have the Kidapalooza experience we all know and love but specifically designed for kids that are just entering and leaving kindergarten. This team will plan, prepare, and execute this four-day event, each morning during the week, and then help in preparing for the Kidapalooza events the next week.
Pawleys Island, SC (June 22 - 28)
Students will learn to lead while embracing a community. LeaderTreks staff will plan every aspect, but gradually hand off leadership of the team house and worksite to students as the trip progresses. By the end of the trip, nearly every component will be student-led. Students will also plan, prepare and lead a 3-day VBS for local children.
