Youth Ministry
Episcopal Youth Community (EYC)
The EYC, for 6th–12th graders, exists to provide a fun and faith-filled space in which we can glorify God by our words and actions, serve others, share the good news of Christ, and strengthen our relationships with one another and with God. EYC is a great way to begin or continue on the journey of a Christ-centered life. EYC generally meets each Sunday night from September through May from 5:00-6:30 p.m. Youth can drop by for any or all of the meetings and activities. Bring yourself and bring a friend!
Annual Service and Mission Trips
Praise God with service to others and make memories that last forever! Our annual summer service trips are a great way to make work worship and to grow the friendships and relationships that make EYC so special. We have served communities in need from the Appalachian Mountains to Charleston, and have even visited our sister Diocese in Costa Rica! During these trips our youth and chaperones participate in community work projects during the day and enjoy dinner, fellowship, and games in the evening.
Confirmation
Confirmation is a significant sacramental rite in the Episcopal Church in which young adults are invited to make a mature profession of faith. It is profoundly important for young people’s spiritual development. Our confirmation experience has been created to provide a safe space where our youth can learn about God and the Church, are welcome to ask hard questions and wrestle with what they believe, and are invited to a deeper life of faith, compassion, and service. It will also be fun, as laughter and joy are important parts of all we do! Click here for more information on what it means to be a confirmand or a confirmation mentor.
