Youth and Children Ministries
“Let the little children come to me; do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs” (Mark 10:14)
At St. Stephen’s, our Youth Ministries are rooted in the love and example of Christ, offering a welcoming and nurturing space for children and teens to grow in faith, friendship, and service. We believe that young people are not only the future of the Church but vital to its present. We embrace each young person as a beloved member of our community. Through worship, service projects, Sunday School, and joyful fellowship, we walk alongside our youth as they explore their spiritual journeys.
Our Sunday School program provides a nurturing environment where children learn about God's love through engaging lessons, crafts, and activities. We use the Whirl Lectionary cirriculum, so your childern are hearing and learning about the same stories as you are during the service. Sunday School meets the 1st and 3rd Sundays from 9:45 to 10:30. The childern are returned to your just after the Peace in worship.
Youth Group is for tweens and teens help them grow in their faith throuhg spiritual education, personal development, serving, and fun. Youth Meets on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month from 4:00 to 6:00.
SPARK is a new intiative by St. Stephen's to act a Youth service organization. SPARK's goal is to encourage youth to give back to their community, and build relationships with people who are different than themselves. Service events hosted by SPARK can also support youth's need for community service hours for things like the NAtional Honors Society and College applicaitons. Please contact the . Rev. Ryan Zavacky for more information!
