Middle School Faith Formation:

The Edge

1 Timothy 4:12

St. Paul's uses The Edge for our middle school (sixth through eighth grade) youth ministry.  The Edge is more than simply a curriculum.  It seeks to do more than simply impart information.  


The EDGE is...

Catholic...
The Edge is faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church and to the Pope and Bishops in union with the Pope.

Christ Centered...
Christ is the foundation of the Church and of our lives.  As such, we seek and strive to put Christ and His love at the forefront of every Edge Night.

Marian...
Mary, as the perfect role model of how to follow Jesus, is a key aspect to who we are at St. Paul's Edge.  We learn about the Blessed Mother and constantly ask for her intercession in all that we do.

Evangelization...
The desire of our Edge program is to help middle school youth to develop a life long relationship with Jesus Christ.  This is faciliated by Edge nights (Sundays from 6:30-8:30 one month on and one month off), retreats, prayer, middle school conferences, and small group discussions. 

Faith Formation...
The truths of our faith are at once ever new and ever ancient.  We impart the knowledge of the faith utilizing high energy games, music, and engaging videos.

Relational...
Middle school youth are a part of a small group that discusses many of the topics and grow together both personally and spiritually.  Each small group is led by an adult who is on fire for their faith and who truly enjoys sharing the Gospel with middle school youth.
