Fellowship for Youth
St. Martin’s offers a welcoming and engaging Youth Ministry Program, welcoming youth in 6th grade - 12th grade. The vision of St. Martin’s Youth Ministry Program is to joyfully welcome all to explore faith, excite the soul, and grow spiritually in the love of Christ. We offer Sunday morning youth formation, evening youth group, and a variety of ways for the youth of St. Martin’s to serve their church community. They can be acolytes in worship, participate in outreach, enjoy fellowship with the wider church and its members, and play, retreat, and go on mission and pilgrimage together.
Evening Youth Group
Evening Youth Group occurs from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. on most Sunday evenings, and all youth are invited to join us. During Evening Youth Group, Oasis (6th - 8th grades) and Crossroads (9th - 12th grades) begin the evening together for a time of fellowship over a meal (provided by parent and church volunteers) before breaking out into their separate groups for a time of learning and fun. Evening Youth Group concludes with Compline for all in attendance.
On the first Sunday of each month, there is no Evening Youth Group. Rather, youth participate in either a social or service outing following the ONE St. Martin's service and feast.
Acolytes
All youth are invited to participate in outreach at St. Martin's and to carry out their own ministry within our church. The Acolyte Program introduces our youth to a new way to participate in church life through serving in worship services. Youth are trained and supported by acolyte adult volunteer leaders. Being an acolyte is just one of many ways youth can become active adults in the St. Martin's community.
Please contact Judi Oakley if your youth is interested in becoming an acolyte.
