Mars Hill

The.element [7th + 8th Grade]

The.element isn’t a place or a thing—it’s people: students, volunteers, and staff who spend time every week sharing in laughter, building lasting relationships, discovering how to help make the world a better place, and learning how to respond to Truth.

Part of our time together as The.element is spent in large group, where any number of things happens—we learn, play, laugh, entertain, focus, and let loose. The rest of our time is spent in our LifeGroups, where we discuss, share, hang out, and build relationships together. The.element meets on Tuesdays during the school year [September through May] from 7-8:30pm at Mars Hill in the Student Room. We also have a number of special events throughout the year. 7th and 8th grade students, we hope you’ll join us! [Download our 2011-2012 Calendar]

Is your 7th or 8th grade student new to The.element? They’re invited to join us in the Student Room on a Tuesday before our program, where we’ll be sure to connect them with a LifeGroup [6 to 10 students their age and gender, plus 2 volunteer LifeGroup Leaders] from the start. Or feel free to contact us in advance to find out more.
