Youth

Who Are We?

The Youth Group at Saint James Marietta includes youth from 6th to 12th grade. For most events, we split between grades meaning that middle schoolers are grouped together and high schoolers are group together.

What Do We Do?

Our youth group focuses on three things: growth, leadership, and community. We want our youth to grow an authentic and educated relationship with God, meaning that we are a scripture based group that looks at what God is saying in the Bible and the real world implications that has for us in today's world. Next, we want to help our youth find leadership opportunities in our church, our diocese, and the world. This means we are actively looking and searching for ways to plug youth into the life of our congregation, our diocesan events, and our community. Lastly, we want our youth to know that the Church and God will always accept them and welcome them. When a young person comes to St. James, we want them to know that they will be accepted for who they are and wherever they are on their journey with Christ.

Where and When  Do We Meet?

 Sunday School begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Youth Room “Child Hall” upstairs.

EYC begins after the 10:30 service with lunch in the Parish Hall. Programming will begin at 1 p.m. with pick up in the circle lot at 2:30 p.m.

Our Youth also participate in diocesan programs such as Happening, New Beginnings, Diocesan Youth Commission and the Hunger walk. Most of these events happen at Camp Mikell and other areas outside of St. James
