Youth

Our youth in 6th-12th grade meet for Sunday school on Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m.  They experience a variety of education. This hour has been used for karate classes, Acolyte training, and advanced mosaic art classes. 

On Sunday evenings, youth in 6th-12th grade gather at the church from 6:00-8:00 p.m.  They eat a light supper together, and divide into two age-appropriate groups. The youth take Holy Eucharist together at 7:30 p.m., and parents and visitors are invited to join them in this simple worship circle.

Good Samaritan uses the Journey to Adulthood curriculum for its Sunday evening program.  Younger youth begin with Rite 13, and progress through Journey to Adult, and end with Y.A.C.  The older group experiences a pilgrimage every other year.  Previous pilgrimages have taken our youth to Spain, Turkey, and Jackson, Mississippi. This year's group will be experiencing a mission trip to Tanzania in 2013.

Good Samaritan's youth also experience lock-ins, 30 hour famines, and a variety of outreach programs. They plan, organize, and execute a number of fundraisers throughout the year to help fund their pilgrimages.  All are welcome to participate.

All persons who work with our youth are trained in Safe Guarding God's Children, a program to prevent sexual misconduct.
