EDGE - Middle School

Middle School EDGE  offers a youth ministry format geared to the younger adolescent, utilizing materials by Lifeteen's EDGE program. Our program seeks to nourish the spiritual development of youth through faith learning and liturgical experiences, to foster a commitment to others through service opportunities, and to develop a sense of parish community by providing optional social events for our middle school youth. Permission slips for all optional events can be found on our  Middle School Calendar. Please register in advance.

The EDGE Ministry is currently seeking adult volunteers (18 years and older, in particular some guys!) to become part of our Core team to join us in this exciting journey of middle school youth ministry. We are also looking for teens who have been Confirmed and entering 11th or 12th grades and are active participants in our Lifeteen program to help as well. No experience is necessary! Training is provided to learn best practices in youth ministry from leading a small group to chaperoning retreats. Please prayerfully consider becoming an active member of our Youth Ministry at St. Stephen the Martyr!

Confirmation

The Archdiocese of Atlanta is in the process of lowering the age of Confirmation from 10th grade to the 6th grade (by the year 2031).    Beginning in 2026-2027, Confirmation preparation will begin in the 7th Grade.   All 7th graders must attend PSR or an Archdiocesan approved school to be on track to celebrate the sacrament in the 9th-10th grade. Candidates who missed previous sacraments may need additional preparation. Contact us for details.
