Middle school (6th - 8th grade) plays a huge part in forming us into who we are. EDGE provides a space to grow in friendship with others and Jesus through hangout time, large group games, talks, small groups, and prayer! Edge is a very upbeat program encouraging Middle Schoolers to live out their faith by living in joy and excitement! As part of EDGE we will also have activities, retreats, and service opportunities.
LIFE TEEN - HIGH SCHOOL
In our Life Teen program, we help teens form lifelong H.A.B.I.T.S. of Discipleship as they prepare for life after high school: Hang time with God, Accountability, Bible, Investment in Ministry and Mission, Telling Testimony and Sacramental Life.
