Grad School is a ministry for students in grades 8-12. Why call it Grad School? Well, because they have graduated from Youth Club and Elementary School and moved up to the high school!
We meet the first and third Sunday of every month at Millboro Elementary School. The meetings start at 6:00PM and end at 9:00PM. We start with snacks and games, move on to worship and Bible lesson, then finish with more snacks, games or basketball in the gym.
We go on a retreat every fall - often to Head Waters Lodge, in Highland County, or, this past fall, to the Young Life Camp at Rockbridge Alum Springs.
As a part of this ministry we also help sponsor a student led Bible Club at Bath County High School. Bible Club meets every Wednesday morning from 8:08AM to 8:28AM. There is usually a short devo and a prayer time.
