Youth Education
Youth Programming
The youth at St. John’s become part of the service early on through the acolyte position. From the time they are able to carry (and hold steady) the Gospel Book, they can become an active participant in weekly services. In addition, there are different opportunities for youth of varying ages.

We currently offer the following Sunday morning offerings:
- Kindergarten - Grade 6 — (Sunday School) - in person, after Communion
The Sunday School program is a parent/volunteer led programming. Our focus is on lessons and stories from the biblical tradition, designed as self-contained to one session. This recognizes our schedules, so if a week is missed, youth won’t “fall behind." It also allows our parents/volunteers to teach a single lesson (perhaps 3 – 5 times a year). We find this brings our families closer.
Family and Your Opportunities
- Christmas Eve family service
Our youth from the smallest through our senior high group tells the traditional nativity story. From the littlest angel to the narrators, this is a wonderful tradition keeping our youth connected. - Diocese Summer Camp
St. John’s has tremendous support for our youth. We are committed to helping our youth experience faith is wonderful ways. One of the most fun is the diocesan summer camp. Our youth return with new friends, a deeper faith and a summer experience they don’t forget. Ages range from 4 years – 12th grade.
Older Youth Opportunities
Many of the opportunities for our older youth come in the form of acolyting, singing in the choir or other service responsibilities. Outside of this and family/camp opportunities we also have programming available for this age group.

- Teach a Sunday School class
- Post-High School Scholarship opportunity
- Confirmation Class (Grade 8 – 12)
With God's help we try to prepare young people to live in the world while walking as a child of God. We group our youth to hold a confirmation class every few years. This provides more formal instruction they will need as they become adults in the church. - Diocesan Youth Activities
