Core Team's sole responsibility is to lead teenagers closer to Christ through relational ministry by ensuring that ALL teens are seen, known and loved. Core Team Members are not simply warm bodies, rule enforcers, or teachers.
It is crucial that we have core members who are committed and have unique gifts for youth ministry. We use this application as a discernment process to see where your gifts will best be used to serve youth ministry and our Parish.
If you have questions about roles, responsibilities or what it means to be on Core Team, email Nick at nick.johnson@stmichaelcp.org or Allison at allison.bednar@stmichaelcp.org
EDGE Nights include faith formation, small group discussion, Praise and Worship, large group games, guest speakers, eucharistic adoration & benediction, as well as various sessions presented by our priests. EDGE fulfills the requirements for Confirmation Preparation set forth by the Archdiocese.
EDGE is inviting ALL junior high students into the vision of Youth Ministry at St. Michael the Archangel. Revealing to teens they are called to live a life of authenticity, that the sacraments are what give them their truest identity, and that they are called to share this with others. This initiative continues to strive to invite, engage, develop, and empower teens to lead others into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church, whether they are Catholic or not. EDGE is a continual invitation and not graduation from formation for all junior high teens within our parish boundaries.EDGE Nights meet on Wednesdays from 7-8:30 p.m, and registration is now open. Registration allows us to place your teen in a small group. This will also allow you to sign up for our weekly emails where we will share the topics of the night, resources for you as a parent, as well as a few conversation starters to engage your teen(s) throughout the week.EDGE helps junior high teens unleash who they were created to be, in Christ.
Our mission is to lead teens closer to Christ through an authentic community that is rooted in the Eucharist.
Our core values are to be authentic, sacramental, and missionary.
