Children & Youth
Welcome to Our Programs for Children & Youth
Join Us For a Fun-Filled Faith Journey—Both Online AND In-person!
online Chapel & Learning Workshops (ages 5-17)
Every Sunday on Zoom 9:30am - 11:00am
Our Sunday Online Chapel is a dedicated space for young people to center themselves, share Joys & Concerns, and to connect with friends old and new. We light the chalice together, sing hymns, and make way for movement or meditation as time allows.
Our Learning Workshops begin right after chapel and run until 11:00am. This year in our workshops we're integrating the Holy Troublemakers & Unconventional Saints curriculum with our own original lesson plans. We’re learning how to put faith into action, making art, playing games, writing collective stories and even cooking online!
“We need, in every community, a group of angelic troublemakers.” - Bayard Rustin

ALL 8: Widening the Lens
CALLING ALL YOUTH EVERYWHERE, Ages 14-17
Learn to tell your story your way with your phone camera or a digital camera in just 10 weeks. Have your work featured in an exhibition film and online artist event. Earn a college recommendation letter. This year we're widening the lens and learning to capture the presence and absence of justice, equity, transformation, pluralism, interdependence and generosity - What does that look like to you? It's FREE, it's super FUN and it's really GOOD TROUBLE.
