Ignite is our program that serves middle school students and helps them in taking that initial step in forming a personal relationship with God. Ignite paves the way for high school formation and sets them on the path to be strong, faithful Catholics.
Mission of Ignite
At Ignite, we walk with middle school youth as they meet the Lord in new ways and seek to completely live out their Catholic faith. We engage these young students through relational youth ministry to help them know that God has a plan and design for them. We do this by showing middle school youth the way that God cares for them. We open their eyes to the way He is constantly reaching out to them, through the different persons of the Trinity, the sacraments and the Church as a whole.
Behind the Name
This ministry is named Ignite because of the specific age group it serves. In middle school youth ministry, students are learning how to take their first steps in forming a real relationship with God. They are discovering how to ignite that flame of faith within their hearts for the first time. Ignite serves to facilitate this deepening in faith and allows youth to meet Christ through His Church.
