Sunday School

Youth Group

  • We have two Sunday School classes. One group is Prek - 2nd Grade, and the other group is 3rd - 5th grade. They are both using similar resources at age appropriate levels. 
  • The younger class is using the Laugh and Grow Bible for Little Ones
  • The older class is using the Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids 
  • Both of these go through the Bible chronologically and do a wonderful job of telling the stories of the Bible in an engaging, age appropriate, yet theologically rich way. 


  • This Fall we will have two youth groups! We will have one for students in grades 6-8, and one for students in grades 9-12. 
  • Youth group gathers from 1:00-2:30pm every other Sunday during the school year.
  • The two groups will meet on the same Sundays and will eat the meal together but will do games and lessons separately. 
  • What will the kids be learning this fall? - More information coming soon!

At St. Paul's the mission for our family ministry is to equip youth for abundant life in Christ.

What we mean by that is we desire for our youth to experience a saving and life giving relationship with Jesus Christ, which they cultivate during their time at St. Paul's and carry with them for the rest of their lives.

We seek to accomplish this mission through the empowering our leaders, investing in our youth, and equipping our parents.

We empower our Sunday School volunteers and youth leaders to disciple the youth of our church.
We invest in your youth through our programs like Sunday school, youth group and more. Additionally, we invest in our youth through mentoring relationships.
We firmly believe that parents are the primary disciplers of their children. Therefore, we seek to equip parents to disciple their children by providing parents with training and resources for family disciplship.
