Classes are offered at various times throughout the week to accommodate the most schedules as possible.
Middle School (6th-8th)
Through intentional mentoring relationships, dynamic weekly programming, retreats, discipleship groups, and social activities, Middle School Saint Encounter provides an environment for 6th and 8th graders to encounter and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
