5th Fleet is a 2-night discipleship training for completed 5th graders who are moving into middle school as new 6th graders.

This study centers around the armor of God found in Ephesians 6. Our hope throughout the study is for your child to realize that he or she has been given everything they will need to battle and conquer the enemy. We pray that they will move to the next grade confidently as they navigate all of middle school with a clear direction and a biblical perspective.

Dear Parents,

LifePoint Kids is so excited to offer you and your 5th grader a discipleship training that will focus on preparing your child for middle school.

Parents, as the primary disciples in your home, we see the importance of your involvement during this 3-day event. We invite you, as parents to attend 5th Fleet and walk alongside your child as we go through this program together.

The world around our kids is constantly changing. The age at which they are being exposed to a constant barrage of worldly sins and moral dilemmas is getting younger. Federal and local government, school systems, curriculum; Entertainment institutions such as Disney, YouTube, and Netflix are all pitching in and trying to advise our children on how they are to live, think, and believe. While navigating all of these voices, our kids are also dealing with the pressures of Social Media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and many more setting up unrealistic expectations for them. It is no wonder with all that is competing for influence over our kids, that many of them are lost, wandering through these formative years without a clear direction.

But what does the Bible say about all of this? Is it truly relevant to the things our kids are dealing with in this day and time? Through this study, your kids will see that there is a clearly defined path for their life, that scripture is true to who they are and what each of them deals with in this very age, and that they have been given every tool needed to combat outside influences and live their life victoriously in Christ. We will not shy away from tough conversations and topics in this class.

As Christians, we are not called to raise our children to be fearful of the world. Instead, we are called to teach, train, and prepare our children for what they will encounter while instilling within them a biblical worldview that will shape how they interact with the world around them.

This study centers around the armor of God found in Ephesians 6. Our hope throughout this study is that your child will realize that he or she has been given everything they will need to battle and conquer the enemy. That they can move to the next grade and navigate all of middle school with a clear direction and a biblical perspective. Below is the outline for our 3-day study.
