CATHEDRAL YOUTH

FOR YOUTH GRADES 7 THROUGH 12

Because we recognize the divine wisdom of childhood and adolescence, Christ Church Cathedral is a place where youth and adults walk side by side, companions on the journey of faith.  We strive to honor questions, avoid pat answers, and look together for the ways that God is at work in our lives. Our mission is to love and affirm all young people as children of God, to serve them as companions and guides, and to faithfully entrust their care to God. All are welcome here.

​

CONFIRMATION

At Christ Church Cathedral youth are invited to prepare for confirmation in the 7th grade, or anytime thereafter.   Classes will be held on the Sundays of Lent 2025.   If you have a child who is in the 7th grade or older who would like to be confirmed, please contact Carolyn Jeffers

​
ACOLYTES
Server Training will be after worship on Sunday, September 15

The word acolyte is derived from the Greek word akolouthos meaning companion, follower, attendant, or helper.  The ministry has its roots in Hebrew Scriptures where the prophet Samuel is seen assisting Eli.  The first written historical record of the term acolyte appears in a letter from Pope Cornelius to the Bishop of Antioch in 251 CE.  Christ Church Cathedral encourages young people to take on the role serving as crucifers, torch bearers, and banner bearers.  They do many jobs before, during and after the service.  

If you would like to serve on an acolyte team please contact Fr. Thomas Heard

​

REGISTRATION FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL AND EVENTS

Parents are asked to register their children and youth if they will take part in any of our offerings (not just Sunday School). This helps the staff plan well, and provides the information our staff and volunteers need.  Use this link to Register.
