Youth Ministry

EYC is an inviting, fun, loving environment where Youth can learn and grow together in the love of God and Christ

We have designed a Youth program at St. Michael’s to meet students’ needs, no matter where they are on their faith journey. All of our programs and events are open to youth and young adults of any Christian faith, and those with no particular church affiliation, wanting to learn more about Christianity. Our most popular youth program is “EYC.” We also host Sunday School, Bible studies, various retreats, mission opportunities, and big events! We grow in faith through teaching, prayer, fellowship, worship, and service.

EYC (Youth Group)

Sunday Nights 5:00 – 7:00 6th–12th graders. EYC really is the basis of everything we do. It is a great environment for young people to grow in their relationship with Jesus and with one another. We make time for fun activities, fellowship, praise, prayer and small group discussions. A typical EYC program starts with activity and games, then dinner provided by our amazing parents, then our message/lesson and group discussion, continue with praises, concerns, & reflections of the past week, and finish with praise and prayer.

Donuts & Discussions

Sunday starting at 10:15 in the Youth Room we will have donuts & discussions around the gospel for the week. We dive into an open and inviting way to look at the reading and how the youth see it reflect on their life. There are no wrong answers and a time to “think deeper” in the writing of the bible.

Youth Sundays

Our students and young adults lead our worship service. This includes a band playing contemporary music, singing songs, readers, greeters and ushers, AV team, and giving the sermons!

Youth Bible Study

We meet for Bible Study Sundays 4:30pm-5pm in the parlor before EYC. Bible studies are designed for those students who are more serious about their faith, and desire to bring their relationship with Christ to those around them. In our Bible studies, students have the opportunity to lead our discussions, asking questions as to how the Bible affects their lives and where can they find answers. Or we’ll either pick a book to decipher, or relevant topics to their lives on Thursdays at 4:15pm – 5:15pm.

Diocese Events

The youth in the Diocese of Central Florida are not the future of the church; they are the church of today. We hope to provide the diocese with the vision and encouragement that is needed for the task of equipping students to have a long-lasting faith and kingdom focus. We continue to have 3 events with our church in our diocese to create a larger more connected society with our church. The events include: New Beginnings, Grounded, and Soul in the City.

Retreats and Other Events

Annual Back to School Lock-in

Held before Labor Day, this includes lock-in full of games, food, and ending with either worshiping at St. Michael’s.

Grounded Youth Retreat:

Grounded is a conference-style youth retreat event designed for you and your youth to hear, engage and experience the gospel of Christ. All while being able to stay at home in between sessions.

New Beginnings Retreat:

New Beginnings, a long-standing ministry created in the Diocese of Central Florida, will host a unique retreat for middle school students, led by high school and college students with support from adult leaders.

Summer Mission Trips

Depending on the year, we’ll either spend a week helping others in a different city, for example in the Appalachian Mountains, or 10 days in Jamaica. This is a great way to be the hands and feet of Christ who has given us so much. Mission trips also include daily devotions, worship, and fun activities such as white-water rafting, or swimming and shopping day in a nearby town.

Soul in the City

Soul in the City is a five-day mission experience that brings students together from across the Diocese of Central Florida to serve, think deeply, and build real friendships that last. Whether you are part of a youth group or an Episcopal school, this week is an invitation to step into the care and purpose of God.
