AT ST. GEORGE'S, we believes that the body of Christ spans all time, all people, and all ages, which makes our teens integral members of our congregation and the parish. Our student ministry does not replace corporate worship of God or separate our families during holy communion and fellowship. Instead, we disciple the younger members of our parish along side their families for the purpose of cultivating the fruit of the Spirit in them.
In 2016, St. George's hired David Eaton , co-founder and president of Axis - a Christian ministry that helps parents connect with their teens, to head our student programming and to guide the youth in our parish as they cultivate a love of God and neighbor.
During the current season of COVID-19 and state mandates concerning the gatherings of groups, we will not be
meeting in person outside of our Sunday morning service. We are therefore trying out some new
methods for discipleship and ministry.
1. We will be sending out weekly videos to our students and their families. We ask that students watch the videos and discuss them with their families some time before Sunday evening. We hope the videos will spark great conversations among family members (feel free to invite friends into the conversation too!).
2. Every Sunday evening designated leaders and any students who would like to, will gather together on Zoom at 7:30pm. We will use this time of fellowship to:
- catch up on life over the week
-pray with each other
-discuss the topic of the video and related themes
-prepare our heats and our minds for the coming week
Along with the video, discussions will include Holy Scripture and Anglican practice and theology as they relate to the topic at hand. We will also encourage and practice the habits of a strong prayer life, regular reading of the Bible, and a personal faith-walk with Jesus Christ.
