SURF students in 5th and 6th grade are at a very transitional point in their lives, neither wanting to be treated as kids, nor yet ready to be treated as teens. It is Surf’s desire to minister to preteens by teaching them about Identity (Who God is + Who Am I), Belonging (Who is the Church + Where Do I Fit In), and Mission (Who is Jesus + What is my Mission).
Surf Meets in the Surf Shack on the west side of the NewCov campus.
Contact our Family/Preteen Pastor, Chip, for more info on Surf Preteen ministries at [email protected] or (559) 298-0688.
Surf Wednesday nights is a preteen youth group just for 5th and 6th graders. We use creative and fun teaching to make the Bible come alive, and well as unique games and our special Gremmy groups to surround preteens with fellow preteens to journey through life with and a Lifeguard (mentor) to help guide them.

Surf goes to Hume Lake’s Wagon Train for summer camp.
Wagon Train is a fun, rustic summer camp for students in 5th and 6th grade. This Old West experience includes sleeping in a real covered wagon, learning Archery and BB guns, riding canoes and kayaks around the pond and exploring Fort Logan (our three story island fort). You’ll also sit around a campfire singing worship songs, memorize scripture, watch amazing skits about the Bible performed by the Wagon Train staff and hear each morning and evening the Good News of Jesus and his love for us.
