Edge approaches catechesis to middle-school youth using the Life Teen model. Middle-school youth are removed from behind classroom desks and brought into a large-group environment for gathering activities, teachings and prayer. In small groups, they break open the teachings and build solid, Christ-centered relationships that allow them to comfortably explore their Catholic faith and make it relevant to their everyday lives. This helps build safe relationships during some of the most formative years of a teen’s life.
Overview of the Program:
- Edge Nights occur most every week of the year, including the summer. Edge also offers social, service and recreational activities designed to create a greater sense of community among middle school youth.
- Edge offers middle school youth occasions to put their faith into action, through a variety of service projects.
- The parent component is designed to assist parents in raising their middle school youth. We offer occasional classes and sessions on middle school spirituality, psychology, personality development and physical development.
