Grades 4th & 5th · The In-Between

Emmaus Preteens

Too old for the little-kid stuff, not quite a teenager yet. This is your spot! Real friends, big questions, and a faith that's becoming your own.

Welcome to Preteen

Built for this exact age

Fourth and fifth grade is a turning point. The questions get bigger, friendships get deeper, and faith starts becoming something they actually own instead of just inherit. Preteen is the room built for that.

Every week we hang out, play games that get a little competitive, dig into the Bible in a way that actually makes sense, and talk about real life. It's fun, it's safe, and it's a place where every preteen belongs.

A Typical Wednesday

What to expect

Crew & Connection

Preteens are placed in small crews with leaders who actually know their names and walk with them all year long.

Real Teaching

Bible teaching that doesn't talk down to them. We tackle the questions preteens are actually asking, straight up.

Games & Fun

High-energy games, challenges, and the kind of chaos that makes Sunday the best part of the week. It's a blast.

This stage matters. Preteens are figuring out who they are and what they believe — and the friendships and faith they build now shape everything that comes next. We're here to make sure no preteen walks through it alone.

Come hang this Wednesday

First time? Let us know you're coming and we'll have someone ready to welcome your preteen and get them connected.
