8 Minutes with Your Best Friend (Jesus Christ)
Middle School students at TKCS begin their day in God’s Word. This time of personal Bible study allows them to focus on their relationship with Jesus Christ by hearing from God (as they read His Word) and talking with Him (through prayer). Each student receives their own, quarterly Bible Study Journal which allows all the students to be studying the same passage on any given day. Students are encouraged to journal and to spend time later sharing with others the truth God has shown them.
