YOUTH & CHILDREN'S FORMATION


Youth are an integral part of all that we do at St. Augustine’s, and we believe that they should be included in worship and fellowship.  

Although structured programming is available during the 10:30 service, youth are invited to attend and participate in worship at all services. We have a healthy growing population of families which has formed the programming and events offered to engage youth and families in worship and fellowship. 

Youth Acolyting
Youth are eligible to train as an acolyte starting in 2nd grade.  The acolyte program exposes youth to having an active role in worship and allows youth to take ownership of their worship experience.  Youth can expect to acolyte every 4-6 weeks on rotation.

Youth Outreach
It is important to us that youth are able to participate in outreach to serve the greater community.  Youth Group and Area Episcopal Youth perform community service or lead service projects 3-4 times per year.  Sunday School takes up a weekly offering that is used to support the Christian Outreach Program of Elkhorn’s adopt a family Christmas program and their Back to School Backpack Program.  Other donation drives occur during the year as well.
​
Youth Sunday
A unique opportunity for our Youth Group is hosting Youth Sunday.  They lead and perform all possible roles within all 3 worship services including reading the lessons, collecting offertory, assisting with the Eucharist service, providing music performances, etc.  Allowing the youth to take such ownership of the services is empowering to the youth and enjoyable to the congregation.

Additional events are offered through the year to keep the sense of community strong and lively.
