Youth Ministry
Real Faith. Real Friends. Real Life.
Youth Ministry at St. Philip
(6th – 12th Grade)
Middle and High School can be messy — and we join in the mess with laughs, authentic community, and creativity.
Get ready for transformational trips and retreats, engaging youth group nights, service opportunities, and God’s work in your life! Come join us in a place where you can be yourself and know that you belong.
Connect with our Youth Group
Connected to a faith community St. Philip youth can call home, our goal is to build up spiritually grounded confident leaders and servants of God.

Events, Retreats, & Trips
Each year our youth have the opportunity to participate in a variety of events, an overnight retreat in the fall and in the spring, and a week-long mission trip during the summer.
Youth Group Gatherings
Once a month on Sunday evenings (6–7:30 pm), our youth gather for fun, friendship, and a short devotion. For a schedule, contact Kai using the form below.
Discipleship Academy
Also known as Confirmation, Discipleship Academy seeks to provide opportunities for students to be able to claim ownership of their faith and to make their faith journey their own. We acknowledge that each student and personal faith journey is unique and we hope to give students the desire and tools to continue learning and growing as disciples in the world.
Worship
Our middle and high school youth are involved in every aspect of our worship services. They serve in volunteer roles, help lead the service, or participate in the pews or at home virtually.
