youth ministries
The Episcopal youth community exists to glorify God by our words and actions, to serve others, to share the good news of Christ, and to strengthen our relationships with one another and with God. A new youth website is in the works, so stay tuned!

Wednesday Night: Bible Study
Wednesday Night Activities will resume 9/21. We focus on something different each Wednesday of the month. Our four rotations will be drama night, game night, media night and scripture night! Join us to find out which night is on the schedule!
Sunday Christian Formation
(7th through 12th graders)
Feasting on the Word –provides opportunities for this age group to explore their personal and communal identity in Jesus Christ through meaningful community-building experiences, engaging Bible study, and relevant learning activities. Biblical stories will come alive in new and creative ways. In response to God’s amazing, unconditional love, youth will be challenged to put their faith into action as they grow to understand themselves as Christ’s disciples.
Community of Young Youth CY2
(5th and 6th graders)
The 5th and 6th graders now have a ministry to call their own, the Community of Young Youth also known as CY2. Erin Busby, Director of Youth and Family Ministries, will lead this group, one Sunday afternoon a month, in an age-appropriate activity consisting of fellowship and a Bible study. This ministry will also meet every Wednesday evening during the regularly scheduled programs, led by volunteers. This ministry will give the 5th and 6th graders a ministry of their own, as well as prepare them to join St. Paul's EYC in 7th grade. Each month two parents will help in the planning and providing snacks. If you are interested in helping please contact Erin in the church office.
