Frequently Asked Questions

What is Transit WKND?

Transit WKND is a retreat-style weekend designed to help incoming 6th graders and their parents confidently transition into Christ Community Students. While it has the feel of a retreat, everyone heads home at the end of each day.

When does Transit WKND take place?

Transit WKND spans three days:

• Friday (6:00–8:00 PM): Dinner, our first session together, and separate time for parents and students.
• Saturday (11:00 AM–3:15 PM): A second session, lunch, games, and fun activities. Parents attend the beginning of the day before students spend the afternoon with their small groups.
• Sunday (10:00–11:00 AM): Promotion Sunday! Students join their new Middle School Small Groups for the very first time.

Be sure to check out the full schedule above for all the details.

Do parents attend?

Yes! We ask that at least one parent (or both, if possible) attend.

Parents will participate alongside their student during key parts of the weekend, including Friday evening and the beginning of Saturday. There will also be dedicated time for parents while students hang out with their small group leaders, giving both groups an opportunity to connect and prepare for this new season.

Can siblings come?

To help make this a meaningful milestone, we ask that siblings not attend. We want this weekend to be a special experience focused on you and your incoming middle school student.

What will my student be doing?

Students will meet their future small group leaders, make new friends, enjoy games and activities, hear biblical teaching, and become familiar with what Sundays and Wednesdays look like in Christ Community Students.

What should parents expect?

Transit WKND isn’t just for students—it’s for parents, too. You’ll meet our Student Ministry team, hear our vision for discipling students, learn what to expect during the middle school years, and discover how you can partner with us as your student begins this exciting new chapter.

Is food provided?

Yes! Dinner will be provided on Friday evening, and lunch will be provided on Saturday.

How much does it cost?

Absolutely nothing! Transit WKND is completely FREE.

Who is Transit WKND for?

Transit WKND is specifically for incoming 6th grade students and their parent(s) or guardian(s) who are getting ready to move into Christ Community Students.
