Youth @ St. James

Never have the demands on young people been so… well, demanding. Truth be told, growing up is hard and we understand that. St. James wants to help young people discover their true identity as Children of a loving God. We value an education built on Biblical and Theological truths, and centered on community, service, and outreach. We offer young people the freedom and support to ask their deepest questions and journey toward a deeper faith in God. We meet weekly on Sunday mornings and enjoy hikes, Beach BBQs, a girls’ small group, and service projects, among other things!  In our youths’ own words, “The youth of St. James allow teens to come together in an accepting & uplifting environment.  In the future, we will work so that all may have a peaceful place to grow and share in our faith.”  Come join us this week!
Our Sunday morning youth group meets at 10 a.m. in the youth room upstairs, and rejoins the wider church downstairs for Eucharist and the end of the service.
