Youth ministries are defined by relationships. Youth need to know that the Episcopal Church truly welcomes them and invites their gifts into the presence of God's mission. This web page invites all youth (grades 3 - 12) to use the materials, announcements and events to be in a relationship with each other and with a loving God who first loved us.

Design Team prepares for EYE
