See below for a fuller description of our events in February as well as what we are learning in Sunday School & Youth Group!

Sunday School

  • Last week we began using the "Laugh & Grow Bible for Kids", which goes through the Bible chronologically and does a wonderful job of telling the stories of the Bible in an engaging, age appropriate, yet theologically rich way. 


Youth Group

On Sunday Jan. 26 we are starting a new series on "identity" in which we will discover our identity in Christ & fight the lies of the world.
  • In this series we will cover topics like - value, struggles, redemption, growth and calling
    • Last week (2/2) - we discussed where our value comes from as children of God.
    • This week (2/16) - we will address the struggles that we go through, specifically struggles brought about by our own sinful nature. 

At St. Paul's the mission for our family ministry is to equip youth for abundant life in Christ.

What we mean by that is we desire for our youth to experience a saving and life giving relationship with Jesus Christ, which they cultivate during their time at St. Paul's and carry with them for the rest of their lives.

We seek to accomplish this mission through the empowering our leaders, investing in our youth, and equipping our parents.

We empower our Sunday School volunteers and youth leaders to disciple the youth of our church.
We invest in your youth through our programs like Sunday school, youth group and more. Additionally, we invest in our youth through mentoring relationships.
We firmly believe that parents are the primary disciplers of their children. Therefore, we seek to equip parents to disciple their children by providing parents with training and resources for family disciplship.
