The St. Thomas Youth Groups are a place for youth in grades
6-8
and grades 9-12
to
grow in community, learn about their faith, safely express their energy
and let off steam, and work at becoming integrated, self-confident
adults. Our Youth Groups are led by Josh Hosler, Brigitte Ashley, Matt Lanier,
Jan Wang, and Sarah Evison.
We always enjoy welcoming newcomers!
We have two youth groups, for
high schoolers (grades 9-12) and middle schoolers (6-8). In a given
week, we may meet together or separately, depending on our planned
activities. During the school year, we meet most Sundays from
4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the Great Hall.
