Sunday School and Youth Group

Grades 7-9
Students in grades 6-8 enroll in a 2-year confirmation program. They explore beliefs in the Episcopal Church, the Bible, spiritual practices, worship, and ministry. The class participates in a service project and serve as acolytes, readers, ushers, preachers, or choir members for worship. Students choose whether and when they are ready to be confirmed. Class meets Sunday mornings at 9 AM.

10th -12th Grade
Students in grades 9-12 explore what it means to be a follower of Jesus by exploring the practices that Jesus lived and that Jesus invites us to practice in our daily life. Trusted adults lead the class using a curriculum called “Follow Me.” Class meets Sunday mornings at 9 AM.

Youth Group
Students in Grades 6 and up meet the first and third Sundays starting at 6 p.m. for a meal and fellowship. During youth group we talk about Jesus, hang out, and play games. Sometimes we take trips off site.

Serving Opportunities
At St. Peter’s the youth and children are not just the future of the church, they are the church, and we invite them to serve as leaders in age appropriate ways. We make bagged lunches for the hungry and cards for the homebound for Christmas. As they grow they are invited to join in leading worship as acolytes, readers, ushers, and even as preachers.
–– Student leadership
Youth serve as leaders of worship and in mission for neighbors near and far
We recognize that youth have gifts for leadership and invite youth into leadership roles at St. Peter’s. This is a place for youth to build relationships across generations and experience what it means to be an integral and meaningful member of a faith community.
