6th - 8th Grade Students
Friday Afternoon Activities
Everblades is a Middle-School outreach program seeking to introduce teens to a saving and thriving relationship with Jesus Christ. A typical Everblades afternoon balances informal social time (with snacks & games) with organized group activities, worship, prayer, Bible study and discussion. Our theme this year is "Transformed!"
Meetings take place Friday afternoons during the school year from 3:30 to 5:30 at WHBC unless otherwise stated. Transportation is provided from the Baraboo Middle School (pool entrance) at 3:25 p.m. Parents should arrange for a pick up from WHBC at 5:30 p.m. (Note: If there is no school on a particular Friday, there is also no Everblades.)

Wednesday Night Youth Activities
Wednesday is the night set aside each week for high school youth to gather in small groups for a time of Bible study, prayer, group accountability and fellowship with other teens their own age. These small groups are designated by grade and meet at various church leader's homes throughout the city of Baraboo. Through concerts, missions trips, outing events, and more, the high school groups strive to grow together as the family of God!
Regular meetings are held each Wednesday during the school year from 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. The 1st Weds of each month is a combined event at Expeditions Unlimited from 7pm-9pm.

"Flames Band"
Our Youth Praise Team is known as the "Flames Band." II Timothy 1:6 tells us to "Fan into Flame the gift of God." The purpose of the team is to train and raise up future music leaders in the church; giving them the tools and skills it takes to lead an effective music mininstry - as if we are fanning the flames.
This commited group of youth facilitates the contemporary worship music for Sunday worship service once per month. Contact Tyson to learn more or to get involved.
