Preteens - Upstreet

“And Jesus grew in wisdom, stature and favor with God and man.” - Luke 2:52

What is the Upstreet environment like?

Large Group – (30 minutes)

Large group is designed to engage children in worship within a large-group setting. Music, prayer, and a creative, innovative approach to the Bible story with an emphasis on relevance.

Small Group – (30 minutes)

This is application time. Students are placed in small, age-appropriate groups designed to help them understand how the topic applies to them . . . relevance! The curriculum is designed to address the different learning styles of students through a variety of activities.

Where does Upstreet meet?

Take any of the stairwells downstairs below the auditorium to enter Upstreet.

What curriculum is used?

“252Basics” is a unique approach to curriculum. It is built around three Basic Truths every child should embrace according to what Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52.

1. I need to make the wise choice.
2. I can trust God no matter what.
3. I should treat others the way I want to be treated.

Each Basic Truth is amplified by a weekly key concept and systematically taught over a three-year track. The curriculum includes 150 Bible Stories and is based on a Core Virtue and Memory Verse as the framework for each month.
