What is LIFE TEEN?

LIFE TEEN is a Catholic youth ministry program that began in 1985 at St. Timothy's Catholic Church in Mesa, Arizona out of a need for young people to feel loved in the Catholic church. There are now over 900 parishes around the world that have adopted the LIFE TEEN program, which is geared towards high school teens in grades 9-12.

LIFE TEEN began here at Christ the King on April 15, 2007 and has continued with great success since then every Sunday night. In the LIFE TEEN philosophy the Mass and the entire program are designed to address the specific needs of teens today. This new vision of teen ministry allows the teen to immerse him or herself in the life of the parish and, on a larger scale, of the Church. LIFE TEEN provides our teens with a "Catholic Identity".

LIFE TEEN answers this call with:

• a life formed in the Gospel as taught by the Church
• a life centered in the Eucharist, weekly without exception
• a life marked by a growing spiritual maturity and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ

• a life lived out in daily prayer, decisions and actions
