will work to nurture intergenerational connections and integrated worship, formation, and

fellowship. This includes collaborating with clergy, staff, and lay leaders to ensure that

We are welcoming of all God’s people and celebrate diversity. This ministry values and

supports children, youth, and families of all kinds—including LGBTQ+ individuals and

families—within a parish that appreciates assorted theologies, lived experiences,

and family structures.

This ministry is offered so that young people and their families are formed in faith,

connected in community, and empowered to live as followers of Jesus —committed to

compassion, justice, and service in the church and in the world.
