Middle School Ministry
Our EDGE Program is built with the simple idea that "...no one will take away your JOY!" - Jn 16:22. We LOVE to have fun! Community building and joyful play is a large part of what we do, while taking time to help grow their relationship with God. Creating a community and culture of joy and love centered around Christ is our first goal. This year, the Middle Schoolers will meet on Wednesdays during the School day. We cover topics ranging from why bad things can sometimes happen to good people, to how to ask for(and receive)forgiveness gracefully. With so many children, we have divided them by age so we can speak to the things that are weighing on their hearts the most.

School Counseling
School counseling has become more and more necessary in schools in recent years. The number of children struggling with mental health concerns has grown immensely just in the last two years alone. By partnering with St. Louis Counseling and CHADs Coalition, we can meet that concern. Students can also get information for planning for their futures through interest inventories and budgeting tools.
