Edge Middle School Ministry — Below the Surface

Holy Family Campus | 2025–2026 | Sundays | 6PM-8PM

What is Edge?
Edge is our middle school (grades 6–8) youth ministry. It’s fun, relational, and rooted in the sacraments—helping teens meet Jesus and live their faith with confidence.

Why “Below the Surface”?
We’re moving beyond “just the basics.” Using games, small groups, prayer, and hands-on activities, we’ll dive into how the sacraments actually change our lives.

Our Aims (simple, but profound):

• Build small, steady friendship groups

• Help teens feel heard, known, and supported

• Create real encounters with Jesus—in the sacraments and everyday life

How it works:

• Meet on scheduled Sundays (see below).

• Nights include a high-energy opener, age-appropriate teaching, small groups, and prayer.

• Teens can jump in anytime—even if they miss a week.
