The Episcopal Church Welcomes Youth!
St. Patrick’s Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) is made up of 6th-12th graders coming
together to celebrate, worship, and fellowship.
“The Episcopal Church strives to walk with young people on their journeys from childhood to
adulthood, recognizing their gifts for ministry, their questions about spirituality, and their desire to make a difference in the world.” (episcopalchurch.org) We at St. Patrick’s offer a variety of options to engage our youth in opportunities to learn and grow in the faith and as a community of believers.

Youth Group Sunday Nights

Youth Group meets on Sunday evenings from 5:30-7:30pm. Youth in grades 6-12 gather
to explore their personal and communal identity in Jesus Christ through meaningful community-building experiences, engaging Bible study, and relevant learning activities.

Confirmation
EYC Confirmation Class for 9th -12th graders meets regularly the year leading up to the Bishop’s next visit. Between meetings youth are asked to complete experiential hours and write a reflection on their experiences. These include interviewing and shadowing lay ministries, attending a religious service outside of St. Patrick’s, talking with a member of the ordained ministry, and with a lay person who views their work as ministry.

EYC Adventures
EYC Adventures provide a time for youth to be together in the abundance that is God’s creation.
Most outings take place on Sundays with a few occurring on alternate days. Adventures have included hiking, karaoke, bowling, a trip to the Ohio State Penitentiary, and more.
