Welcome to High Rise!
HighRise is our preteen ministry at North Orange. We desire that preteens are equipped to enter middle school with WISDOM, FAITH, and FRIENDSHIP, knowing 150 Bible stories and having learned about 36 different virtues, or what we call, virtues.
Our goal is that a child’s relationship with Jesus is reflected in the following ways: I need to make the wise choice, I can trust God no matter what, and I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
All kids 4th through 6th grade will be in a small group with kids their grade level in the trailers at the northwest corner of the property with a caring leader who is intentional about building relationships with kids.
For this age group, we use the 252Preteen curriculum. This curriculum is designed to teach the timeless truths of Scripture in a developmentally appropriate way for preteens in hopes that they will grasp the truths and leave knowing how to live them out personally.
Each Sunday children will go home with resources to continue to grow their faith at home with parents who have the greatest impact on their child’s spiritual development. Also, be sure to follow us on social media (@nocckidzone) for up-to-date information about what’s happening at KidZone.

JANUARY IN HIGH RISE - PRETEEN MINISTRY
PRETEEN SERIES DESCRIPTION:
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN RESILIENCE AND GOD’S CHARACTER, AS SHOWN THROUGH GOD’S BIG STORY
With every season comes new and different challenges but also the chance to experience incredible joy. Through sunshine or rain, storms, and blue skies, seasons and weather are important to growth, but not just for flowers and trees. How we respond to each season of life helps us grow in maturity and can spur us to a deeper faith in God. This is especially true when it comes to our emotions.
Just as seasons come and go, so do our emotions. And how we choose to handle those emotions can shape us and teach us a lot about how God cares for us. No matter what emotion we may be feeling or what we may face, because of Jesus, we can learn to trust that God knows how we feel. Jesus showed us how to face life with resilience, and because of it, we can trust God no matter what.
