Ignite Core Team

Hello! Thanks for checking out Ignite Core Team! May the Holy Spirit guide your heart and your mind as you discern if this ministry is for you!!

So what is Ignite Core Team?
Ignite Core Team is a team of adult and high school leaders who teach and guide the 6th-8th graders in their faith formation! Ignite itself is an alternative faith formation oportunity for students; rather than traditional catechesis in a classroom setting, Ignite uses a youth ministry format to teach our middle schoolers about the faith, help them to grow in their prayer life, and give them space to ask their personal faith questions.

What will Ignite look like with the COVID restrisctions?
Although some details are still undetermined, we are planning to meet in person in a small group format. All middle schoolers will be split into designated small groups that will meet once every other week for 1 hour. All groups will not meet on the same day of the week, but will meet on Monday, Tuesday OR Wednesday. 

What are the responsibilities of an adult Ignite Core Team Member?
- The key responsibility for an adult core member is to lead one of the faith formation small groups! The basic format of every small group is as follows:

1. Greet and gather the group
2. Give some "preparation questions" before the teaching to help spark curiosity with the students
3. Give the teaching on the topic for the evening [this will likely be a pre-recorded teaching video]
4. Guide discussion with the students in small group
5. Pray with your small group in the chapel

- The Core Team will also meet regularly to plan the small groups - plan discussion questions, prayers, testimonies, reflections, etc. We will also gather to discuss feedback on how the students seem to be responding to the new format for faith formation, as well as assess what the needs of our youth are, so that we may better serve and love them!
