Summer Mission
All youth involved in the Senior and Junior High youth groups are invited
to participate in short term missions. In the past, Saint Paul’s
has worked through a variety of established youth mission organizations
to coordinate these trips.
About every third year, we send our Senior High youth on a two-week backpack adventure in the Adirondacks with an organization based at Gordon College, known as La Vida (think Outward Bound, but with a Christian underpinning). La Vida will spiritually challenge and encourage your teenager to discover his/her life-long need for God as their strength.

Winter Retreats
Each winter (February/March) our junior and senior high go to Jaffrey,
New Hampshire for a weekend snow retreat, featuring inspirational and
challenging speakers, a lot of fun, indoor pool, endless games, good
worship, and strong fellowship.
Confirmation Class
Every other year, students in the ninth grade and older are invited to join the confirmation class. Preparation for confirmation includes a two-month class, and a day-long retreat with the rector and youth leaders. The bishop comes for confirmation in the fall of even numbered years.
