Children & Youth Formation

Growing in Faith. Building Connections.

At St. Paul's, we believe children and young people are an important part of our church family.

Through worship, learning, friendship, and service, we create opportunities for children and teens to explore their faith, ask meaningful questions, and grow in their understanding of God's love.

Whether your family is new to St. Paul's or has been part of our community for years, everyone is welcome.

Children’s Formation

A Place to Learn, Wonder & Grow

Children bring curiosity, imagination, and joy to our community. Our children's formation program provides a welcoming environment where young people can discover the stories and traditions of the Christian faith.

Through age-appropriate lessons, activities, and worship experiences, children learn about God's love while building friendships and a sense of belonging.

Using resources from Illustrated Ministry, we help children engage with Scripture and understand the rhythms and traditions of Episcopal worship.

Sunday School: Sundays during the 10:00 AM Eucharist throughout the school year.

Confirmation

Confirmation offers young people an opportunity to explore the Bible, prayer, Jesus, and the Episcopal Church as they consider their own faith journey.

Questions, curiosity, and thoughtful discussion are encouraged.
