Grace Youth
We believe that a person’s faith is cultivated in community and it is our goal to help create spaces for students to build meaningful relationships through learning, serving, and having fun together. We strive for students to be heard and valued in all they do. Grace Youth is a safe space for students to be themselves and ask the tough questions.

EYC invites children and youth (3rd-12th graders) “to build a deeper relationship with each other and with God in a loving and inclusive community where all are welcome and all are valued for their strengths and gifts. We strive to create a Christian community where everyone can learn and grow physically, mentally, and spiritually in a safe and nurturing environment.” During ths week-long experience, campers are split into three groups based on grades with some sharing of meals and worship. Scholarship support from Grace is available. More information about EYC and registration to participate in camp can be found on the EYC Website.
Pray. Lead. Learn.
Youth are integrated into all areas of church life; vital members of the extended family that is Grace. They serve as acolytes and readers in worship and in outreach ministries. They come together for formation and preparation for Confirmation. They have fun going to movies, ski trips, overnights, and other events. Youth at Grace are more than a youth group, they are members of an inter-generational community praying, leading, and learning through various phases of life.
