Middle School (6th-8th Grade) Discipleship Formation
As our Middle Schoolers (6th - 8th grade) walk the path of discipleship, following Jesus, we highly encourage them to participate with their family in the Emmaus Family of Faith sessions. In our mind, Emmaus is the ideal place for Middle Schoolers to continue their faith formation in the heart of the family.
Middle School Youth Group Click for Registration Our goal is to help teens develop lasting, life-giving Christian friendships with their peers and grow in their relationship with Jesus. We strive to cultivate a community that is rooted in the Catholic Faith, where your teen will be equipped to flourish as a human being and as a disciple of Christ. It is a great supplement to family faith formation, as it gives your kids the opportunity to socialize with like-minded people who are their age, and experience the faith in a fun and vibrant community.
Middle School Youth Group is completely optional, but highly recommended for all 6th - 8th grade youth. We recommend registering your teen so that we can ensure you are a part of the email communications (via Flocknote), even if your child cannot attend every event.
There is no set fee to participate in Youth Group, however, to help cover the cost of food, technology, materials, etc., a donation amount of $50 to $100 per teen would be greatly appreciated.
