Catalyst Middle School (6-8 Grade)

Catalyst Middle School Youth Ministry is for grades 6-8. The purpose is to help students like YOU experience Jesus and help YOU become a fully-devoted follower of Him.
 
What to expect? When you join us on a Wednesday night for FUEL or any other event, expect to join a group of students who come as they are regardless of how much they know about Jesus.  Our events will be FUN and many will be challenging, so there will always be an event where you feel comfortable.  There will also be a group of caring adults who are dedicated to love you for who you are, help you make friends, and to help you experience Jesus.
 
 
FUEL [5:30 to 7:00pm, Wednesdays during school year, Underground Student Center]

Come join us every Wednesday from 5:30 – 7:00pm in the Underground Student Center for the best night of the week as we do a variety of faith-building experiences: studies on life issues and how we go about living by faith, worship, variety of games, and other events that take us out into the city of Houston to learn how to be a witness for Christ everywhere we go. Pizza is available at $1.00/slice.

*Most students who participate in FUEL go on to be confirmed in the 8th grade; however, FUEL is open to any and all students.

CONFIRMATION [During FUEL, See Above]

Confirmation is a specialized ministry program that seeks to help 8th grade students own their faith as they transition away from believing in Christ simply because their parents believe, dig into why Lutherans interpret Scripture the way we do, identify with the overall life and mission of Trinity and the Body of Christ, and provide them with a foundation for a deeper spiritual life.

This specialized class runs throughout the school year and ends on Palm Sunday with the Rite of Confirmation.  After Palm Sunday, 8th Graders then move up to High School youth ministry after a fun initiation and welcome.

If you desire to be confirmed, please contact Ken Rodgers for more information.
