Youth Formation

Holy Comforter Youth are vibrant partners in our ministry: learning, growing, serving, and sharing the Way of Love we have found through Jesus Christ. Our youth programs raise up Light-bearers for the world, rooted in the unconditional love of our community, formed through study and spiritual practices, and strengthened by service and engagement in our city.

Our Youth Program includes weekly gatherings, experiential learning, youth-led worship, significant leadership and engagement with diocesan activities (Bishopā€™s Ball, Happening/Genesis, HUGS), challenging confirmation preparation ā€“ and fun. Our youth grow at church, in the community, and in the world.

Our Youth serve the church in meaningful and visible ways: as acolytes, lectors, translators, hosts, Room in the Inn volunteers, and more. Join us!

We are looking for a part-time Youth Minister!

Come and work with our awesome youth and team of advisors! This position is 15 hours a week, running our Youth program, including the Sunday evening youth group, building relationships, communications, and nurturing the spiritual development of our youth. If you are interested, see the job description for details on how to apply or reach out to find out more.
