Children’s Ministry

Let the little children come to Him.

While children are always welcome at our regular church services, we also offer a variety of opportunities for children to connect to their faith in their own way. Our children’s formation is rooted in Scripture, liturgy, the sacraments, and sacred music. The teaching is substantive but joyful, because children learn best when they encounter the beauty at the heart of the faith. This includes Sunday School, Wednesday night Crossroads ministry, a cooking club, and other family-focused activities throughout the year. Please note that all Sunday School teachers and volunteers must complete Safe Church training and a background check. For more information, contact Mthr Barbara.

Youth Ministry

Youth are vital to the life of our parish.

We want our young people to have a strong foundation for a lifetime of faith. That means robust teaching, deep friendships, and service that changes lives. Our youth take on responsibility for planning their own programs, supported by adults who recognize the unique spiritual qualities of young Christians — sharing in the parish mission to make and grow disciples of Jesus Christ across all generations. For more information, please contact Nathan Dearen, Director of Youth and Family Ministries.

Adult Formation

Go deeper in faith, Scripture, and community.

Adults of all ages and walks of life are invited to deepen their faith and relationships through Christian formation — from small groups, Bible Study, and book clubs to forums with well-known speakers. Audio recordings are available on our Sermons and Teaching Podcast. For questions, contact Mthr. Barbara White, Associate Rector for Worship, Formation, and Communications.
