Meet friends! Have fun! Grow in faith! The aim of Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) at St. John’s is fellowship and discipleship for youth in grades 6 through 12. EYC is a great place to build friendships, find support, and deepen faith in Christ. Contact Ayana Grady for more information.
Programming for Youth
EYC meets during the school year every Sunday afternoon at our church facility on Orleans Avenue. We engage in games and discussions and have a blast!
St. John’s also provides other opportunities for youth to enjoy age-appropriate activities with their friends. From trips to Universal Studios to paintball outings, from Bible study to mission trips and service days, St. John’s youth are active and engaged. We celebrate together, serve together, and grow together!
Middle and High School Sunday School classes meet each Sunday during the school year from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m.
