Youth (Grades 6-12)

At Calvary Episcopal we seek to minister with young people in a way that encourages their growth in faith and knowledge, that includes worship and service, and that addresses realistic daily concerns. We also have fun!

Youth group for grades 7 through 12 meets one Sunday a month from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Mezacapa Room. Please contact the church office for more information.

Mission Trips

High-school age youth go on a mission trip every two years. The most recent trip, in 2006, was to the Ojibwe reservation at Cass Lake in northern Minnesota, where the youth learned about Ojibwe culture and worked to improve facilities at the Episcopal camp there.

Diocesan Activities

The Diocese of Minnesota sponsors many special events for Episcopal youth. These include large youth gatherings in fall and spring, a Senior High Event in conjunction with the annual Diocesan Convention, and TEC Weekends. TEC stands for "Teens Encounter Christ," and is a dynamic weekend in which young people grow in faith and fellowship through worship, prayer, music, fun, and hearing other Episcopal teens share their faith stories.
