Children & Youth Ministries
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
All kids from rising third graders through high school are invited to have lots of fun singing, learning stage movement and technique, some easy dancing, and putting together a Broadway-style show.
This year's dates are June 24-28. Camp meets daily at Christ Church from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a performance on the evening of Friday, June 28. The cost is $45 per camper, which includes a t-shirt for the show. Scholarships are available

Episcopal Kids Community (EKC) (4th-6th Grade) | 1st and 3rd Sundays, 3:00-4:30PM | Youth Room
Episcopal Kids Community is a youth program for all current 4th - 6th graders. EKC provides our younger youth the space to play games, ask questions about their faith, and grow in community with one another, all while having fun in a safe, welcoming setting!
6th grade will be a “flex year” for families to decide if they would like to keep their youth in EKC, discern if they are ready to be in our older youth program, Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) or if the youth are up to it, being a part of both programs!
To join, contact Marvin McLennon, Director of Children and Youth Ministries.
CHILDREN’S CHAPEL | SUNDAY, 10:30AM, PARLOR
During our 10:30AM services, we offer Children’s Chapel to all children ages 3 through 3rd grade. Children’s Chapel happens in the Parlor where children experience their own church service filled with music, that Sunday’s Gospel reading and reflection.
Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) (4th-6th Grade) | Sunday, 4:00-5:30PM | Youth Room
Episcopal Youth Community is a program dedicated to all 6th - 12th graders. EYC and youth ministry engagement is a wonderful way to spread Christ’s love throughout your community as well as sharing God’s love with one another. EYC provides youth with a safe place to be who they are, find out who they are, as well as help them find their place in the Episcopal church and the wider world.
Our meetings will consist of games, team-building activities, lessons learned through the stories scripture, and participation in service projects. EYC teaches youth how to be disciples who will go out and make disciples along with fostering deep friendships and relationships that can’t be achieved through other extra curricular activities.
