Preteens, or better known as tweens, have emerged as their own subgroup in culture. We realize the importance of a purposeful discipleship tactic for this group. These preteens need more time, space, and resources. They need teaching that is specific to their age group - not too young (or "boring," as they would say it) and not too old. SuperStart exists to help fill the void for this age group, and engage them in a fun, inventive way to reach students that are often overlooked. 

No, students will not be spending the night for SuperStart. Students will attend Friday’s session, go home to sleep, and then return Saturday morning for the next day’s sessions.

Much like Sunday mornings, students will experience SuperStart as a small group with peers and small group leaders. Groups will attend the large group sessions together, have structured small group time afterward, and have plenty of time to play together and bond as a group.

Your child will be placed into a same group with their peers like on a Sunday morning. They will be placed with their Small Group leader if available.  

Registration covers 3 main sessions, dinner on Friday, lunch on Saturday, free time activities for small groups, a student book, and a t-shirt.

Today, it’s harder than ever for students to know what’s true. With so many voices, opinions, and distractions, truth can start to feel like a mystery waiting to be solved. That’s why this year’s theme invites students to become truth detectives through the world of a hilarious and thrilling mystery play full of twists, turns, and suspects - where only the best detectives can reveal the truth.

Throughout the weekend, your preteens will investigate Jesus’ words in John 8:31–32 and John 14:6, discovering that the truth isn’t just something to find—it’s someone to know. Like a good detective on the case, they’ll learn to look and listen to God for truth, to collect and connect those truths, and finally, to show and tell those truths with others.

Don’t miss out on this chance to help your students discover The Mysterious Truth—a weekend of fun, faith, and a few shocking plot twists they’ll never forget!

No, they will not. All activities will be taking place at Athens Church ATL HWY Campus including group free time.

Check-in will take place at our Athens Church ATL HWY campus UpStreet entrance on Friday, February 6th from 6:00PM-6:30PM. Dinner will be provided for students. It will be the same process you are used to on Sunday Morning. The Check In location will be the UpStreet desk located near the Preschool/Elementary Entrance. Once you check your child in you will drop them off in their assigned room. Remember to keep that second tag for pick up.

Students will need to be picked up after the sessions on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. You will pick them up as you do on Sunday mornings, showing your corresponding pickup tag with your child's name tag at their assigned room.
