Middle School Youth Ministry
6th-8th grade. Sessions are on Wednesday, 6:30pm - 8:00pm.
What is EDGE?
EDGE is a high-energy Catholic youth ministry program for students in grades 6–8. Middle school can be a chaotic time for kids trying to find their place. EDGE meets them on their level, providing a safe, casual environment surrounded by a positive peer group and strong Catholic role models.
What We Do:
Interactive Catechesis: Relevant faith lessons aligned with Archdiocesan guidelines.
Faith & Community: Scripture study, prayer, and small group discussions.
Action & Fun: Community service projects, exciting social events, and plenty of food!
Our mission is simple: to remind middle schoolers that the Church hears, values, and loves them exactly as they are.
Why is Edge the ultimate Wednesday night hangout?- Teens find a safe, welcoming community where they feel accepted and get to spend time with their Catholic friends
- They get answers to their unanswered questions about their Catholic faith
- The Core Team volunteers act as relatable guides who listen
- They experience Jesus Christ in a profound, personal way
- Teens get honest answers about God and the Church
Rooting them in Christ before high school hits: A Parents Perspective- Edge gives middle schoolers a chance to build strong Catholic friendships before they enter high school
- Their children are given Catholic role models on the Core Team who reinforce what is already being taught within the home. Parents often join the Edge Core Team too.
- Provides parents with talking point and discussion questions after gatherings to spark faith conversations on the car ride home

Join the EDGE Core Team!
The most important thing to know about CORE is that we are in this journey WITH our youth! We are not above or below them, but with them every step of the way and we lead by example.
Our middle school ministry relies on adult leaders who actively shape our EDGE nights. Responsibilities include delivering teaching sessions, leading small group discussions, and committing to pray for and with our youth. We welcome new adult volunteers to serve with us on Wednesday evenings.Interested in serving on EDGE Core Team or Volunteering? Please Complete the form HERE.
