Welcome to 56 Ministry! This is home for 5th and 6th graders at The Woodlands Methodist Church. We strive to create a Christ-centered, safe and fun environment for students. Middle school kids are at such a transitional age, going from young children to teenagers. We want to help guide and shepherd our students to know Christ during this formative age. We gather each week in the Family Life Center for Sunday Service, 9:00 and 11:00 a.m., and Wednesday Bible Study, 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. We would love to see you there!
