WHAT IS EYC?

Episcopal Youth Community (or EYC) is a youth ministry for 6th-12th graders to continue their formation and have an outlet for fellowship within the church.

A big part of what we do as a group is learning about God’s Word and how it helps us on our path in life. A verse in Psalm 119 is an excellent reminder that even when we feel lost, God can help. It says, “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” God actively speaks to us through the Bible, in prayer, and through others, shining a light in our lives when we have doubts or feel lost. The key is to spend time in God’s Word, reading the Bible, and getting to know what He says.

Reflect on this bible verse as we incorporate it throughout the year.

2023 – 2024 Schedule! See the Calendar below for the most up-to-date information.

Sunday School is offered for youth (6th -12th grade) every Sunday in the Undercroft from 9:30 to 10:15 am. We will discuss the week’s gospel and enjoy some time together.

Youth Group (NEW) will be a weekly gathering for all youth (middle and high school) on Monday nights. We will meet in the undercroft at 7 pm for games and snacks, followed by a short lesson with Fr.

Parents and family are welcome and encouraged to join us for compline! Pick-up will be from the church at 8:30 pm.
