Youth Ministry and Faith Formation
The youth education program provides religious education and service opportunities for our youth. The program is designed for youth Pre-K to high school. Youth are welcome throughout the year and new parishioners are invited to observe the classrooms and the curriculum.
Catechesis 1 (Pre-K and K)
This class uses the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a Montessori-based program. The goal of this class is “To know and love Jesus”. Using parables, altar materials, and life experiences, the children who Jesus is and how we make the connections between Him and the church liturgy.
Catechesis II (Grades 1, 2, 3)
Continuing the work from Catechesis, this class is working towards their Solemn Celebration of the Holy Communion in grade 2. Their instruction includes studying the books of the Bible, the Timeline of the History of the Kingdom of God, and the gestures of the liturgy service.
Grades 4,5,6:
We are using the “Lesson Plans That Work” from the Episcopal Church website. Each lesson is built around that Sunday’s Gospel reading.
Childcare:
Many of our older students are responsible for child care during the service which allows the parents to attend the service knowing their children are engaged.
