EDGE Core Team
The EDGE Core Team works to support the middle school youth ministry. Themain commitment is our Wednesday evening meetings. Core Team members are a very diverse group, ranging from parents of teens, young professionals who are married or single, to college students. Our Core Team leads asmall group of middle schoolers that are gender specific. All Core Teammembers work hard to spread and share their faith by pairing with otherteam members; no one works alone. If there is a time you are unable to assist, we will make sure there is someone who will cover for you. We learn somuch from the youth and have so much fun ministering to them. We offerservice opportunities, social nights, retreats, conferences, and so muchmore. Yes, there is a need for you! Training for team members is required and provided.

OCIC Middle School Students
This form of the order of Christian initiation is intended for children, not baptized as infants or who have been baptized but have not received any formal catechesis, who have attained the use of reason (11—13 years old), and are of catechetical age. They seek Christian initiation either at the direction of their parents or guardians or, with parental permission, on their initiative. Such children are capable of receiving and nurturing a personal faith and of recognizing an obligation in conscience. But they cannot yet be treated as adults because, at this stage of their lives, they are dependent on their parents or guardians and are still strongly influenced by their companions and their social surroundings.
