Youth Formation

Youth Ministry Opportunities

Our youth are frequently found serving at our altar during Sunday services, as acolytes, crucifers, and lectors. Their active participation gives them a hands-on opportunity to be a part of the worship service and is greatly encouraged by both clergy and parishioners. Many of our youth, start their ministry participation in middle school and continue until adulthood. For questions and interest, please contact: Andy Flood.

Confirmation

According to our faith we believe that in the course of Christian development, those baptized at an early age are expected, when they are ready and prepared, to make a mature public affirmation of their faith. Also, to make a commitment to the responsibilities of their Baptism. This affirmation and commitment is made in front of the bishop; during which, they receive a laying on of hands. 

For additional information about Confirmation instruction, please see the clergy.

God our Father, you see your children growing up in an unsteady and confusing world: Show them that your ways give more life than the ways of the world, and that following you is better than chasing after selfish goals. Help them to take failure, not as a measure of their worth, but as a chance for a new start. Give them strength to hold their faith in you, and to keep alive their joy in your creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP, p. 829)
