Helping Middle Schoolers grow in their faith
Middle School | COW
We’ve created a place for students in grades 6, 7 and 8 to belong, be known and loved—we call it COW (Cloud of Witnesses). In this unique community they’ll grow in their understanding of God, His Word and how to live out their faith. Students will build meaningful relationships with other middle schoolers and adult mentors through worship, small and large group gatherings, as well as camps and missions trips.
If you or any of your guests would like to request an accommodation (i.e., assistance navigating the building), please call Danielle Schaeffer, our Disability Ministry Director, at 630.776.2013 or email her at dschaeffer@ChristChurch.us.

What if I want additional parent resources?
COW has just recently launched a monthly newsletter for parents and those raising students in faith during their middle school years! This newsletter serves as a short 7-minute read filled with discussion questions surrounding faith for you and your student, practical tools, and resources for navigating this age and stage of faith with middle schoolers. Text “MSPARENT” to 630.206.3230 and you will receive a short link to subscribe to this newsletter!

Every student matters!
I grew up in the student ministries of Christ Church and have experienced God’s transformative work in my life through this community. I'm passionate about guiding students and their families as they discover their identity, belonging and purpose in Christ. I love working with our incredible staff and volunteers to create a space where students feel seen, known and loved in a way that reflects Jesus’s heart for them.
