Youth Education
Sunday School
Our middle and high school youth are not just the future of our church, but an integral part of our church TODAY. Their spiritual development is of the utmost importance and we encourage our youth to join.

Church of the Common Ground
The youth take a visit to the Church of the Common Ground once a year. Church of the Common Ground is an Episcopal Church that serves our homeless population in Atlanta. We make sandwiches to go in bagged lunches that we hand out after the service. It's a very powerful experience to serve our community in this way.

Involvement in the Service
Acolytes
Our youth help us worship by helping at the altar. Whenever they get the urge to carry the torch, they're allowed to begin acolyting. Over time, they move up to Crucifer, where they carry the cross in. The Crucifer also helps the priest set the table before the Eucharist. Contact Meg for more information.
Diocesan Events
Diocesan Youth Service Day
The Youth Service Day had a great turnout this year and we look forward to next year's event. More details to come. It's an all day event that includes lunch. This is a great time to get some service hours and to hear about serving in our community. For our youth who went on the mission trip, this will be a time to do some follow ups with the organizations you served.
Happening
Happening is a spiritual renewal weekend for high school youth, led by high school youth. The weekend focuses on growing closer in your own faith by listening to talks, and reflecting in small groups. Second semester freshman and up can go to the weekend. The weekend takes place at Camp Mikell in Toccoa, Ga. The weekend costs $100.
The next Happening is TBD.
New Beginnings
New Beginnings is a spiritual renewal weekend for middle school youth, led by high school youth and adults. The weekend focuses on relationships between our friends, family, and God. Youth in 6th grade and above can come. High School youth can serve on team, even if they’ve never come before. Meg has helped run the weekend in the past and would love to answer questions.
The next New Beginnings is TBD. High School team applications are here. Middle School registration is here.
Youth Lock In at Annual Council
