Middle school ministry presents unique opportunities for evangelization… and some unique challenges. Edge Support provides your parish with everything you need to implement a vibrant middle school ministry that your junior high school students will love. From fun and impactful youth nights to overnight retreats and small groups, Edge Support will take your middle school youth out of their desks and into the beginning of an adventure with Jesus.

Teenagers today are a lot different than teenagers from 20, 10, or even five years ago. As teen culture changes and evolves, the way we present the timeless truth of the Catholic faith needs to evolve, as well. Life Support resources are responsive, innovative, and engaging tools that empower a team of Catholic adults to accompany young people as disciples. Whether you have large group gatherings, small group ministry, or a mix of both, Life Support provides your parish with three unique sets of resources every subscription year, offering your team the tools you need to lead teenagers closer to Christ.

Kickstart is our brand new Life Teen program crafted for smaller groups of high school teens. Resources include dynamic Life Nights, Connect small groups, and retreats that empower a small core team to begin and sustain relational youth ministry. Each semester, you receive resources and training for 8 Life Nights, designed using the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops framework for high school students. Additionally, Connect Group Guides provide small group sessions to dive deeper into faith-based topics or to contextualize secular experiences within the Catholic faith. A retreat provides the opportunity for further faith development and community-building. Implement the programming following the easy-to-use Life Teen Kickstart calendar or as best fits your youth ministry.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of teenagers receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and many more hours are poured into preparing them to receive that Sacrament. Yet, many of those teenagers fall away from the Church later on. Purpose is a transformative approach to preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation, combining powerful content that helps teenagers answer life’s big questions with digital tools to help communicate with your team, parents, and teenagers. Purpose isn’t a magic solution to the challenge of teenagers leaving the faith — it is the tool that empowers you to accompany teenagers on their journey and become the solution, yourself.
