YOUTH
In our youth formation program, our youth design their room spaces as "living room" spaces, which are spaces for discussion and community as they journey to adulthood together.
Mission and outreach is a very important part of our ministry, and also partaking in special events.
We also love to celebrate life and transition milestones throughout our journey!
Middle School
Our Middle School youth group embraces the Rite 13 curriculum, designed to help students discover their unique talents while addressing the religious and social challenges they encounter at this stage in life.
We provide engaging group bonding activities that lead up to an exciting "urban adventure." The highlight of this program is the Rite 13 ceremony, where the congregation, family, and friends come together to celebrate each young person's gifts as they embark on their journey into adulthood.
High School
Our High School youth group participates in the Journey to Adulthood (J2A) curriculum, fostering relational ministry through Bible study, prayer, rites of passage, outreach activities, and a mix of serious and fun events.
Over two to three years, the group collaborates to plan and fundraise for a special pilgrimage to a destination chosen by the participants, creating a meaningful experience that enhances their journey into adulthood.
Youth Pilgrimage and Mission Trips
Mission trips help us grow in serving our neighbor and loving them as ourselves. Youth in J2A fundraise for their pilgrimage and choose as a class where they would like to go. Recent groups have gone to San Diego, the Grand Tetons, and Lake Michigan.
Confirmation
Confirmation class is taught by clergy and youth leaders. Youth confirmation classes meet monthly, October through March, every other year. Adult confirmation classes meet periodically as needed.
TEACHERS
The teachers at St. Paul's are... you!
All training and curricula are provided for you. All you need is to love kids and be curious about how to teach them about God.

Everyone who works with youth at St. Paul's undergoes a background check.
They also undergo regular Safe Church training through the diocese to keep everyone safe. Youth are never left alone with any one adult; there are always two (unrelated!) teachers in each room.
