Emerge Middle School Youth Group

The name "Emerge" was chosen to reflect the faith journey of middle school students as they begin to grow and discover their own relationship with God. Just as faith isn’t reserved for adults, "Emerge" symbolizes how young people are stepping into their faith, learning, and experiencing God’s presence in their lives. Inspired by the story of young Samuel in the Bible, the name reminds us that God is always speaking to us, no matter our age.

Fall Schedule

Here’s what's coming up for our monthly events. Each month, we will be focused on the following types of events:

​INVITE: Join us for a fun event or outing and INVITE a friend!

NURTURE: These are faith-formation events. We’ll check in, explore a Bible story and pray.

SERVE: We’ll roll up our sleeves for a service project (think like Feed My Starving Children).​

Keep an eye on the weekly email for any updates and changes to the schedule.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Crossroads leadership team at emerge@holycrosschurch.org.
