Youth
A Place for Youth
Youth aren’t just the future of the Church, they are already the Church! Our youth group is an active circle of students in 7th–12th grade who meet twice a month for a healthy mix of fun and God (because the two aren’t mutually exclusive!)
Youth Group and Events
Youth group meets twice a month from September through May, with lunch provided after service. There are three big projects led by the youth each year: fundraising and buying Christmas gifts for Catalyst Community, organizing the annual Super Sunday Food Drive, and going on a summer trip with Sierra Service Project. Youth at Faith aren’t just part of the congregation, they’re leaders in the community!
Sunday Service
On Sunday mornings, the youth gather at the youth table on the right side of the sanctuary, where they can catch up on their week and share in worship together.
Youth in Worship
Youth are involved in all kinds of worship ministries, from serving as acolytes at the altar with the priest, to reading the scripture at the lectern, and helping with the altar guild, music ministry, and even making special announcements—youth at Faith are right in the middle of the action.
Youth Band
Youth of all ability levels are encouraged to join the youth band. Practice is held the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month from August through May, and youth band regularly leads music in the Sunday service. Contact Rosie Sabado to sign up!
Safe Church
All volunteers who work with children and youth are required to complete regular screening and training, including LiveScan fingerprinting and a criminal background check. Click here for more information about our diocesan Safe Church standards. Normally, there are two trained adults present, and reporting instructions is posted with contact info in each children’s room. Our church building has been designed with child safety and parent comfort in mind; all our rooms have glass panels to the hallway. Parents are always welcome to drop in and observe a class at any time.
