At All Saints' we offer engaging programming for Children and Youth at each age. The goal of the teachers and sponsors is to form relationships with and among the children and to explore the Bible in connection to the childrens' lives and development.

Godly Play, for children in PreK 3/4 through 1st grade, uses a Montessori approach to Biblical Storytelling that engages children with objects and wonder. Learn more about Godly Play through this Video Introduction.
Production Company, for children in 2nd grade through 5th grade, explores Biblical Storytelling through games, art, and interactive performances.
Middle and High School Forum, for youth in 6th grade through 12th grade, supports this age group's move towards abstract thought and critical thinking by engaging their deep and growing questions in order to grow in knowledge and faith with the goal of making faith their own.
Worship Leadership
Acolytes, for 3rd graders through 12th graders, share their time and talent by assisting the clergy in worship and grow in leadership and knowledge of the Episcopal Liturgy & tradition. Training and mentorship ensure youth serve with confidence.
In Youth Choir for 2nd graders through 12th graders, our youth share their time and talent as part of the music ministry to lead one song a month and at special services like Confirmation, Christmas Eve, and Easter. They rehearse most Sundays from 12pm to 12:30pm under the direction of Gregory Eaton, our esteemed Organist and Choir Director. A lunch and game or activity are available from 11:30am to 12pm before rehearsal starts.
