EDGE is Blessed Trinity’s middle school youth group. This group gathers twice a month to form and grow our 6-8th grade Christian Community. We touch on topics relevant to this age group in the world today, and enjoy a mixture of socializing, games, topic discussion and spiritual development to help build a strong foundation in the middle school years, when peer pressure and temptation sometimes make the right choice the hard choice. EDGE is open to ANY 6-8th grade student, regardless of which school, church (if any) the child attends. EDGE is not a replacement for religious education, but a tool to help build the values taught in church and to help develop the skills needed to identify the ways to use those values in real world situations.
