Do I need "the"?

Post by CarySid »

I'm designing a piece for print and need some help. For the header of the piece, I have it saying "Stay Connected with the Middle School Ministry." The proofing team here says that's incorrect and it should be "Stay Connected with Middle School Ministry."

That just sounds dumb to me. Who is correct? What rule am I looking at to help me understand this better? Thanks!

If "Middle School Ministry" is a name, then no "the" is correct.

It seems to me it isn't the name but current Ministry for the Middle Schools affairs, is it?
