are a vibrant and growing community of young people and adults who come
together for the purposes of learning about God and each other, sharing,
worshipping, spiritual formation, outreach and fun.

Sunday Mornings for Middle & High School Youth...St. Mary's has a wide variety
of offerings on Sunday morning that will appeal to members and visitors
of all ages.
“NOOMA”:
Our middle
school and high school class is
using a program called "NOOMA".
This curriculum
engages youth in examining passages
of the Bible. Each lesson makes use of small and/or
large group discussion, activities, and popular music and/or
video clips that encourage the participants to discover
that God, Christ, the Bible and one's faith and values are
all real and relevant to their lives.
Each class uses multi-media to reflect on the
lesson of the day and empowers youth to see secular movies
and hear music with different eyes and ears.
Youth
Confirmation:
St. Mary's
is a faith community dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ
with the young people of our parish through fellowship, worship and
service.
St. Mary’s
takes a ‘whole person’ approach to Confirmation. In doing so, we
are able to reach youth where they are on their own spiritual journeys.
Youth are eligible for Confirmation beginning at age 14. Please
contact the clergy if your son or daughter is interested in
Confirmation.
Outreach
Opportunities:
Middle and High Schoolers are welcome
to volunteer to cook meals for Open Door Ministries. Check out our
Outreach page for more information on Open Door Ministries.
