Youth

St. Paul’s Youth is a vibrant and fun community of students in grades 6-12. Students worship with the whole congregation on Sunday morning, participate in youth classes during Christian Education hour, and have other opportunities throughout the week. We seek to bring students into the thriving body of Christ, where they are transformed through the Holy Spirit through sacramental worship, formation, and heartfelt hospitality.
