Why Edge?

Ministry for middle school students is essential to the life of the Church. Especially in today's day, when sixth grade students encounter more of the world than sixth graders even five years ago could have imagined. Teens in this age group are seeking truth, and if the Church does not give it to them, they will seek it out elsewhere, and encounter the lies the world wants them to believe.

This is why Edge matters. Middle school ministry, and especially the Edge program, gives middle schoolers a place in the Church. First and foremost, the recognize Jesus in the Eucharist, and they know He is someone who loves them and desires a relationship with them. Second, they see the Church as their own. It is no longer their parent's Church, their parent's faith, it is starting to become their own. They can ask hard questions, and get real answers, the Truth from people who care about them, and most importantly desire Heaven for them.

Edge Core Team

Help Lead Teens Closer to Christ!

Small Group Leaders:
Lead a small group of 6th, 7th, or 8th graders each week. Wednesday or Sunday evening, we are in need of people who can build relationships with middle schoolers and walk with them each week through their walk with the Lord.

Hospitality and Relational Ministry:
Come help with middle school events such as Extreme Faith Nights, Ignite, Rise Up, Lifelines, or other off campus activities for middle schoolers! We always need help with food and transportation, but the most important thing you provide at these type of events is the witness of your life, as you give your time to help middle schoolers further their faith. They will see Jesus is important to you simply because you are there!

High School Discipleship Team:
High school students can be involved in lots of ways for middle school ministry. Some lead small groups, other help out at Extreme Faith Nights, Extreme Faith Camp, and middle school Discipleship Groups. You are such an important part of transforming middle schoolers lives, especially as they transition from middle to high school!
