Youth and young adults are the church of today! Recently we have embarked on these two important ministries in new and exciting ways. Our ministries have a focus to GLORIFY, SERVE, SHARE, and STRENGTHEN, which you will see in our mission statement. Youth and Young Adults at St. Peter's are equipped to share their faith just as St. Francis of Assisi said, "Preach the Gospel at all time and when necessary use words."

Youth Ministries

Summer Mission Trip: McDermitt, Nevada
July 29-August 3, 2012
All students who are currently in 7th-8th grade are eligible to live their faith in action through this special mission trip to better the life of a Native American Indian reservation. If you would like more information, contact Rev. Paige Blair at pblair@stpetersdelmar.net. More information can be found at www.sierraserviceproject.org.

Sunday Mornings at 10:00 am, we have two youth classes led by volunteers. Our 7-8th grade class is led by Betty Collins and Pat McCardle, which begins their journey through confirmation this year and in the course of four years will plan and participate in a pilgrimage. Our 9-12th grade class is run by Martha and David King. These classes run September - June

Confirmation and Pilgrimage is another important aspect of youth ministry in our parish. Beginning in 8th grade our youth can choose to enter our Confirm Not Conform program which begins their journey to confirmation. We also use the book "Jesus Was An Episcopalian (and you can be one too!)" for our confirmation preparation. Over the course of the next three years, the youth are confirmed and continue learning through this community. To conclude their journey of confirmation, our youth attend a pilgrimage, which the youth help determine. Past pilgrimages have included England, Canterbury, and the Holy Land, so really any location is a possibility for the pilgrimage.

Youth Minstry Team consists of eight lay ministers who believe in the importance of youth ministry at St. Peter's. We meet to review the current and future youth programs. Each of these people is highly dedicated to the success of our ministry to youth and oversee specific areas of our ministry.  

Young Adult Ministries

This group includes 20s and 30s of our community that have a desire to be involved in something social, spiritual, and service oriented. Theses events normally occur on a monthly basis with varying dates and times. Each young adult is responsible for helping contribute to the group in helping plan events, share ideas, and participation.

Theology on Tap is held the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 8:00 pm at The Fish Shop located at 1775 Garnet Ave at the corner of Garnet and Kendall in Pacific Beach. This young adult event is organized by St. Andrew's, Pacific Beach.

Theology Uncorked is held the 4th Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm at Del Mar Pizza located at 211 15th Street in Del Mar. Free parking is available at St. Peter's Church during this event! This young adult event is organized by St. Peter's, Del Mar. Contact Rev. Paige Blair at pblair@stpetersdelmar.net for more information.

Recreational Activities are being planned so if you have any suggestions let us know! These could inclue camping trips, bonfires, dinners, and anything you might imagine.
