About Youth Group

St. Paul’s offers a Junior High Youth Group for 6th - 8th graders, and a Senior High Youth Group for high school students. The goal of both groups is to provide fellowship, fun, and a place to explore issues important in the lives of youth group members, and how our faith affects those issues. We want to encourage development of kids’ relationship with God, and what it means to be a person of faith. We accomplish this through a variety of activities, including social events, worship, service activities, and development of a youth group community. Our goal is to put our faith into action by helping organizations such as:

  • Among Friends
  • Emmaus House
  • Emery House
  • Common Cathedral
  • Habitat for Humanity
  • Pettengill House
  • Special Olympics
  • A local nursing home
  • Haiti relief funds

We also conduct Social activities that include:
  • "movie night"
  • bowling
  • laser tab
  • mini golf
  • Lowell's Boat Shop
  • an overnight trip to Boston or NYC

We are also in communication with our surrounding Episcopal churches to form regional youth group activities.
