Helping Middle School Students Take the Next Step in Their Journey Toward Christ
Middle School is a time of significant changes in almost all areas of life and we desire to create a place for students to feel safe and cared for. Whether you’ve been here for a while or are brand new, we’re excited for you to join us!
Community Groups
Wednesdays*, 7-8:45PM
Community Groups are a space where students can laugh, connect, and have meaningful conversations about what matters most in life. Community Groups include time for both large and small group connection. Groups meet at Blackhawk Brader Way, Blackhawk Fitchburg, Waunakee, and Mount Horeb. Register your student or add yourself to our contact list. We look forward to connecting with you soon!
Registration for the 2025-2026 Community Group season are open!
*New for 2025: we are piloting a Sunday evening group. Learn More.
Asian American Student Ministry (AASM)
Fridays, 7-9 PM
AASM serves primarily Asian-American middle & high school students. It provides a culture-specific space where students can explore their identity through talking about common values and struggles with predominately Asian-American leaders. Anyone is welcome to be a part of AASM regardless of race or ethnicity, and no one is required to be part of it because of their race and ethnicity. Students may choose to do both AASM and Community Groups.
Registration for the 2025-2026 Community Group season is open now!

Middle School Ministry Alaska GO Team
July 18-26, 2026
Apply by January 7
Blackhawk Church partners with Eaglecrest Alaska Missions, whose mission is to serve the people of Sutton, Alaska through the power of the Holy Spirit. They do this by addressing physical, emotional and spiritual needs through day camps for local students. We will come alongside Eaglecrest in Sutton, Alaska, as they build long-term relationships with local middle school & high school students by helping run a Day Camp. This is an opportunity for Blackhawk students to grow in their leadership and interpersonal skills, as well as an opportunity for significant personal spiritual growth and exploration.
