Youth @St. Thomas
Downloads
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 Brian Gregory,
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). Typically,
these groups meet together each Sunday afternoon. During the school year, we meet most Sundays from
4:00 to 6:00 pm in the Great Hall.
