Children & Youth

St. Paul's celebrates the multiplicity of gifts that young people bring to our church! We believe that all children have an innate spiritual sensitivity and we honor that in all of our life together. We seek to nurture and encourage the exploration of and engagement with God, Jesus and a life-long journey of faith through creative art, music and play. Our Children's Chapel is the focal point of Biblical Storytelling and creative response. We welcome and invite all God's children, beginning with ages pre-kindergartern throughout the elementary school ages to participate in our Godly Play program. There are education opportunities for all ages at 9:15am on Sunday mornings.

All youth are invited to participate in many areas of life at St. Paul's. Please speak to the clergy with any questions, for a schedule of meetings, or to be put on the email list for any of the programs.
