Mission Statement:
The Core Team is a group of
Missionary Disciples of Christ
who are called to witness, to share,
and walk with teens closer to Christ.
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Continue to strengthen your relationship with Christ by…
- Having a daily prayer life
- Growing in knowledge of our faith
- Attending Mass weekly
- Going to Confession
- Attending Core Team Meetings Once a Month
- At meetings, you will be led in prayer, training, & planning
- Meetings will be determined by a vote by the core team on
when is the best time for everyone to meet at the beginning of
the year.
- Depending upon which core team you join you will be asked to
attend Edge and/or Life Nights.
- We understand that it may be hard to attend every one, but we
ask you to make as many as possible. Please tell Paula as far in
advance when you cannot be there so she can plan
accordingly. Our prayer is that we will have an abundance of
core team members so that it is never a problem if one core team
member can't be there.
- Preparing for your assigned task at each Middle School Event or Life Teen Night:
- Possible Tasks: Leading Prayer
Teaching Leading
Small Group
Leading Games
- You will only be asked to do something you feel comfortable doing.
However, God does call us out of our comfort zone sometimes.
You will know well in advance what you will be asked to do each time.
- Attending Outings, Service Opportunities, Games/Plays of Teens
- This is outside of the regularly scheduled Edge and Life Nights, but all of these are great opportunities to get to know the teens better. It may be hard to do this but it should be a goal of each core team member to get to know a teen & their family.

Core Team Formation:
Being on the Core Team comes with a lot of advantages! You will have a COMMUNITY on the core team to pray & share life with. You will have the opportunity to GROW IN YOUR FAITH as well because you are reading/preparing for the edge/life nights or confirmation sessions. You will also be SUPPORTED!
Here are some of the ways we support each other...
MEETINGS: Once a month at our CT meeting we will focus on prayer, training, & planning.
RETREATS: We will offer opportunities to go on Core Team Retreats & suggest Personal Retreats too.
CORE TEAM SOCIALS: This is a time that the core team get together & enjoy each others company. We try to do this 3-4x a year.
HOLY HOUR: Monthly Core Team Holy Hour Together or Personal Holy Hour.
CORE TEAM CHECK-IN: A relaxed personal chat with Paula on how each you are doing physically, spiritually, mentally, & socially.
