The goal of the youth and children's programs at Emmanuel Episcopal Church is to provide for Christian formation, encourage everyday faith in God, service to community, and fellowship with each other in our Anglican tradition.
Junior High and Senior High The Senior High youth explore faith and spirituality through J2A (Journey to Adulthood) sessions with a special focus on the sacraments and the Book of Common Prayer. Each summer the group takes a week-long Mission Trip, led by adults.
The Junior High youth gather for scripture study and to deepen their understanding of the role of faith in their lives through Rite 13. Each summer the group takes a week-long Mission Trip, led by adults.
