Youth Youth

Sunday School

Sunday School is available for students in preschool through 12th grade. Classes meet on Sundays from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. Children and youth learn about liturgical seasons, prayer, and community rituals. They also are encouraged to apply Biblical teachings to their everyday lives and current events and develop deeper relationships with God.

Youth Group

We have two youth groups: one for middle school students (grades 6-8) and another for high school students (grades 9-12). Youth group members participate in fellowship and service activities, such as lock-ins, soup kitchen, and an annual mission trip.
