SHIFT_jrhi: Middle School Community

Love God. Love Others.

Hey, if you're looking for 30 Hour Famine event details, they are over on our "Current Happenings" page!

7th and 8th graders: SHIFT_jrhi is Your LGLO Community!

LGLO = Love God, Love Others. SHIFT_jrhi is a place where middle school students from all corners of Spokane have a ridiculous amount of fun, grow in their faith, and live out justice in our world in the name of Jesus Christ. During the school year, SHIFT_jrhi meets on Tuesday evenings (7-9pm, FPC north entrance) and Sunday mornings (10-11am, Westminister Room downstairs). In the summer, you'll find us having a blast here in Spokane, on our mission trip to San Francisco, or out at beautiful Camp Spalding. If you're a 7th or 8th grader, SHIFT_jrhi is the place for you and your friends. Whatever the season, be sure to grab our quarterly events calendar, put it on your fridge, and join the adventure. 

Our ministry is relational in nature. Shift is about meeting students where they are in a highly transitional period of life, and building relationships that allow students to explore a life with Christ. It is sharing life together: the ups, the downs, the all of it.  Our leaders are not volunteers who show up for a weekly event. They truly invest in students' lives and seek to live out the gospel alongside students.

What this means for parents is that you have a partner in mentoring your early teen! It also means your student will be contacted often by an adult leader (college or older) in a variety of appropriate ways. Your student's healthy experience is our top priority. We do background checks, leader training, and link guy leaders with guys and girls with girls. Most of all, SHIFT_jrhi staff and leaders want to partner wtih you as you parent your kids. Check out our latest "Orange Times" parent newsletter, and always feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns about leaders, programs, or ministry philosophy.
