What is Life Teen?
-
-
-
-
Our Parish has transitioned from the typical classroom model for faith formation to a dynamic way of reaching teens where they are at. Life Teen is a nationally known Catholic program designed for High School students. Which is made and distributed by Life Teen Inc. Life Teen has been proven time and time again to be very effective.
Hopefully not to confuse anyone, Life Teen is the High School youth ministry program and Edge is the Middle School youth ministry program.
I am very aware of how the program operates and to make it impactful, not just for the teens but hopefully to bring the energy that the teens get from a Life night and to bring that energy home to their families.
A typical Life Teen night looks something like this:
Large Group
- The teens arrive and he Core Team helps engage in getting to know the students. The Core Team is a group of adults who are involved with helping plan each night, lead prayer, lead games, lead the teaching and lead small groups. Without the Core team, this program would not be able to work. The Core Team welcomes the teens in our gathering space. We start as a large group.
- Get everyone settled
- Check-in with the week challenge, welcome any newcomers and introduce the night. (5 minutes)
Large Group
- Game-that is related to the theme of the night (10 minutes)
- Opening prayer (5 minutes)
- Teaching (10-15 minutes)
- Clip to Supplement the Teaching (5 minutes)
Small groups
- Break out into our small groups. Ideally, there will be about 10 teens in each small group. During small groups is when we are able to dive into the material and is where the teens are able to take ownership of the material that was taught in the large group. (25 minutes)
Large Group
- Transition to the Church
- Send: This where we ask the whole group some of the questions that were asked during small group and have some brave souls share what they talked about during small group.
- Give the weekly challenge and any announcements
- Closing prayer
We typically meet every other Sunday of the month at St. Patrick's site from 6:00-8:00 pm.
For those who wish to have their child Confirmed in 9th grade, it is required that they attend Life Teen in 9th grade.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me!
