SPARK is a Middle School program aimed to give your 6th-8th graders a space to share and celebrate their faith with other youth their age. Middle schoolers stand at the edge of childhood and teenhood, at the edge of faith passed on and faith owned. It is important to provide them a space where they can continue to grow in their personal relationship with God alongside other middle schoolers who are navigating the same road.
Our faith formation for middle schoolers provides community building and creative exploration for these times. Youth would build forts to learn about prayer as refuge, play teambuilding games to learn about community, have quiet time to pray without words and engage in other creative activities.
Through social gatherings, catechetical and issue nights, the youth will experience engaging activities, conversations with their peers, and opportunities to apply their faith in their life. In addition to youth group, we also offer service projects, retreats, youth masses, and more! The goal is to give your youth a community where they can live out their faith together. Come join us and journey with us! We hope to see your middle schoolers at SPARK!
