YOUTH CHURCH

St. Barnabas loves our young people, and we prioritize them in the life of our congregation. YC (a.k.a. Youth Church) is for youth 4th-8th grade and is led by Rev. Phoebe during the 10 am service. Youth 9th grade and up can volunteer to serve alongside Rev. Phoebe. YC is a religious formation
program and youth group.

YC (Youth Church)

Join us at 10AM Sunday mornings in the new youth room, just down the hall from children’s church. YC is a youth group that meets during church. There will be prayer, fellowship, faith formation, and fun. Contact Rev. Phoebe for more information.

Movie Night

We regularly host movie nights for youth and families in the Parish Hall, featuring appearances by Val and friends. We take care of dinner!

Liturgical Leadership

We believe in empowering our young people to worship God and serve their community through liturgical leadership. If your 9+ child is interested in being a reader, acolyte, or crucifer, please contact Rev. Phoebe.

Confirmation

St. Barnabas provides confirmation class for youth 7th-10th grade September-May. The confirmation rite usually takes place on a Saturday in mid-May every year. Please contact Rev. Phoebe to sign up.

SUNDAY MORNING HOW-TO

Youth and families are always welcome at St. Barnabas. On Sundays when YC takes place, parents drop off their kids at 10AM in the Youth Room, down the hall from Children's Church (just ask our ushers for directions). Parents are then invited to join the congregation for worship in the church while their youth have some fun and faith formation of their own. Youth rejoin their families in the church at the Peace, before Communion (which is the second half of the 10AM service).

Youth are always welcome in church. Ask the ushers for Sadie's Activity Sheet to have some extra fun during the service. Please also reach out to Rev. Phoebe if your child is interested in serving as a reader, acolyte or crucifier.
