Volunteer as a Small Group Leader
The Edge Faith Formation Middle School Ministry is looking for parents of middle school kids, adults, and high school teens in their junior or senior year to minister to our middle school youngsters on Wednesday nights. Ministering as an Edge small group leader is a great way to help middle schoolers grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus and the Catholic Church.
