Saint Teresa's
Episcopal Youth Community
At St. Teresa's Episcopal Church, we want our youth to know they are loved by the Lord Jesus Christ.
The vision for the middle school youth is to create a basic foundation of faith that will foster the growth and self-confidence of the youth by building a respectful relationship with God, each other, and our community.
Building on this foundation, we want the high school youth to be confident in their faith, confident in themselves, and as members of the body of Christ, confident in their service to their community and beyond.
St. Teresa's youth groups are open to all teenagers in grades 6 through 12. Whether new to the group or a regular, we recognize that it is through our own unique gifts that our group can function completely as a community of faith. It is through our relationship with God, with each other, and with our community that we are able to take Christ into the lives we touch. So come and join us!!
