Youth grow in their personal relationship with God.
Youth Ministry teaches middle and high school students to explore their relationship with God, rely on the power of the Holy Spirit, and bless others with their gifts.
FALL & SPRING
Sundays @ 10:15 am
7th - 12th grades

Sundays @ 10:15 equip youth with a strong biblical foundation and engage the Scriptures in a way that applies to their everyday life.
Youth on Sundays resumes September 22, 2026.
Youth Group
Youth Group is a special time set aside for our students to engage in fellowship, sharing, and/or fun social gatherings. The format, schedule, and location is subject to variations each month, so check the upcoming events calendar below regularly for the latest group event updates.
Serving others is a huge part of who we are.
Monthly Youth Outreach Project
All youth (7th-12th grades) gather once a month on a Tuesday from 6:30 - 8 pm to work together on an outreach project.
Youth Mission Trips
In addition to local outreach opportunities throughout the year, each spring break and summer our students serve together on a week-long mission. This is far more than just a trip. The mission team meets months ahead of time to prepare our hearts and minds in addition to establish that all logistics are covered.
Each team member serves in a leadership role and plays an important part in our mission experience. In the past few years, we have served in South Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
Contact us to find out more about our youth outreach and mission opportunities.
Confirmation
Confirmation is an individual’s mature and public affirmation of faith and commitment to the responsibilities of baptism.
Traditionally, churches designate 6th grade as the time for Confirmation. However, some students need more time and may not be ready until the end of middle school or into their high school years. The Youth Ministry takes an organic approach to make Confirmation available when each student is ready.
In preparation for taking responsibility to live out their faith, students will experience what that looks like in real life before they make the commitment. Here’s what to expect:
Attend 5-week Confirmation class.
In the spring, attend the Diocesan Confirmation Retreat, complete the Faith and Action Wheel handout, and participate in a confirmation group project.

Faith grows best in relationship, and youth need to be in relationship with many caring adults who are invested in their lives.

Nobody can do it alone…but if we work together, God can do mighty things!
