ABOUT X-treeme (9-12th grades)

X-treeme is the high school youth ministry at Midland Evangelical Free Church.

Our Name is... "X" = Christ    "Tree" = The Cross      "Me" = me

(Which means Jesus died on a tree for me.) This comes from 1 Peter 2:24.

Jesus is what X-treeme is about!

You really won't find a more passionate love and greater reason for living in all of the universe! So, bottom line, We are about JESUS... but who are "we"?

X-treeme is group of high school students, with some very cool adult staff, in Midland, Michigan living out Jesus Christ's love and truth imperfectly, but passionately!

Our goal is to Make, Mature, and Multiply Disciple Makers of Jesus.

 

WE MEET Together ON SUNDAY NIGHTS

The “FIRST” Sunday of the month is a high energy, fun event designed for you and your friends to come and see who Jesus is. “FIRST” Sunday events include Nuk 'em 2.0, Pumpkin Patch Palooza, Turkey Hunt (Road Rally), Christmas Game Show, Broomball, Mystery Outreach, Slip 'N Slide Kickball, and much more.

The other Sunday nights are for students to come and worship Jesus through singing, prayer and teaching. Following our time at church we go to a local restaurant to enjoy a meal together.

Come once, come each week! We love to point teenagers to Jesus!

Discipleship Groups

Hey students in 7-12th grades! Are you looking for authentic relationships with your peers? Discipleship Groups (DG’s), small groups, may be what you have been seeking. Groups of up to 10 male or female students of the same grade meet weekly during the school year. Two adults who want to invest in your life lead the group. We want you to stay in the same group as you grow together in Christ from 7th grade through graduation. Students can join a DG any time, but most DG’s begin in the fall. See link to application below. Contact Jody Best at 989.631.4411, x1001 or jodybest@mefchurch.org.
