Middle School Youth Ministry Programs
Middle School Program (Grades 6 - 8) Middle School Youth Ministry will meet on Monday evenings.
Sessions will include a variety of EDGE and lectionary-based lessons, incorporating different styles of prayer, guests speakers, outreach opportunities, and fellowship with peers and families.
Most nights will follow a gather, proclaim, break, and send format beginning with dinner, facilitated by parent volunteers. These evening sessions will open with whole group activities, followed by whole group teaching/presentations. Then, the youth will break into small groups to respond and reflect, facilitated by a consistent volunteer adult leader (or pair of leaders). The whole community will re-gather for sending prayer and dismissal.
Parents, parish adults, and high school teens are essential to bringing our Youth Ministry to life!
