Middle school is an adventure filled with challenges. Middle School Ministry (MSM) is a place where 6th-8th graders are known, valued and cared for as we point students to the amazing grace of the Gospel and encourage students to walk in the truth of God’s Word as it transforms them.
Grab a copy in the Upstairs Chapel or the Student Center to be up-to-date on all things MSM through December!
MSM Sunday Worship Services meet during the 12:30 and 5:30 services in the Upstairs Chapel. They are a time filled with community, worship, the Word, and a little fun! Students won’t want to miss it!
We exist to “Make More and Better Disciples of Jesus Christ” and Life Groups have the same purpose. Designed to be a smaller group setting broken down by gender and grade, life groups go through devotional lessons, discussions, and fun events throughout the year! We want you to be in community! (Check the calendar above for dates.)
Catch an outreach night with MSM in the Student Center once a month. Invite some friends and get ready for a high-energy gospel-centered night. Doors open at 6:30pm, event from 7:00pm-8:30pm.
There will be no Ignite during the summer.
We love to equip youth to use their vocal and instrumental skills to serve at MSM and grow a heart for leading others in worship. If you are interested in learning about our Student Worship Ministry Click the link below.
It is a joy and privilege to serve the families of Canyon Hills as the Middle School Pastor. I love Jesus, and I love watching middle school students make their faith their own! My hope is that all of our middle school students would love Jesus more and more, every day. My family and I are native Washingtonians, but we’ve lived in California and Illinois as well. My wife (Meghan) serves as a middle school Flock Leader when she’s not teaching our kids. We love Pickleball, Ultimate Frisbee, anything outdoors, good food, and great coffee. I’d love the chance to meet you and to get to know how I can best serve you and your family!
Hello! I’m Elizabeth (most people call me Liz), and I serve as the MSM Assistant here at Canyon Hills. Originally from Oregon, I moved to Washington after college and have loved making this community my home. Middle school is such a meaningful season in my life—it’s when I first gave my life to Jesus—and I count it a joy to walk alongside students as they get to discover Him. I stepped into this role in March 2025, and it has been amazing to see how God is already moving in powerful ways. When I’m not at church, I enjoy going on walks, reading, baking, or heading to the gym with my fiancé, Scott, who also serves as an MSM Life Group Leader. If you see me around, please stop and say hi—I’d love to meet you!
I absolutely love student ministry! God has given me a passion for helping students know, in the simplest way, that Jesus loves them—and so do we! As the Student Discipleship Director, I get to serve both Middle School Ministry (MSM) and High School Ministry (HSM), focusing on discipleship and student care. It’s truly the best job ever—hanging out with students, hearing their stories, and pointing them to Jesus. My husband, Michael, and I both grew up at Canyon Hills, and now we have the joy of serving on staff together (he’s a worship director). When we’re not at church, we love traveling, spending time with friends and family, and eating way too much good food!
