St. Peter’s Youth

Be real. Make friends. Grow in faith.

Being a teen today is… a lot. Classes, sports, college prep, friendships, social media—it never ends.

Add in the bigger questions about life, God, and who you’re becoming, and it can feel overwhelming.

That’s why St. Peter’s Youth exists: a safe, fun, in-person space where teens can:

  • Hang out — no pressure

  • Build real friendships — beyond the screen

  • Explore faith in ways that actually matter

🚫 Oh, and this is a side-eye free zone

Ask your questions, bring your doubts—no judgment here

🙌 Service: Make an Impact

Faith isn’t just words—it’s action. At St. Peter’s, we show love by showing up:

  • Become an acolyte, greeter, or choir member—yes, you can actually be part of worship, not just sit (or sleep) through it

  • Jump in on community projects like beach cleanups, food drives, and helping neighbors in need

  • Join service trips that make a difference and create stories worth telling

“💡 Low-key perk: Serving looks great on college apps, but the real win is discovering your purpose.”

🎉 Sharing: Some things just hit different when you share them:

  • Group of seven teenagers smiling in front of a Christmas tree indoors.

    Annual Youth Christmas Party 🎄 = snacks, games, and peak chaotic energy

  • A woman in a white coat and glasses is performing a blessing or prayer over a girl holding a cat. The girl is smiling and wearing a yellow sweater. They are in a wooden-paneled room, possibly a church, with stained glass windows and an audience seated in the background.

    Blessing of the Animals 🐾 = yes, bring your dog, cat, or hamster (the one time side-eye is allowed — but only from animals!)

  • Group of eight smiling young girls sitting around a table, engaged in arts and crafts, with supplies like beads, paints, and ornaments on the table, in a cozy home with a stone fireplace in the background.

    Game nights...

  • Group of people sitting on couches in a cozy log cabin room, singing or reading, with a fireplace and large windows in the background.

    Retreats...

  • A young man holding a large fish outdoors near a wooden house with trees in the background.

    Random adventures that turn into lifelong inside jokes 🐠

Alaska Pilgrimage Reflections

In 2023, we did a Pilgrimage to Alaska. We kayaked, hiked glaciers, learned totem pole carving, and did service projects along the way. These are some of our reflections…

Confirmation: What’s the Deal?

Okay, so you’ve probably heard people drop the word “Confirmation” in church. It might sound super formal, but the truth is Confirmation is just a chance to say, “Yeah, I want to own this faith thing for myself.”

It’s not about passing a test, dressing up fancy, or pretending to be someone you’re not.

At St. Peter’s, Confirmation is all about asking your own questions, being real about your doubts, and deciding if this whole Jesus-thing is something you want to lean into.

And the best part? Is doing it together. You’ll go through it with other teens who are figuring it out too, so you’re never stuck solo.

✨ Want in? Talk to our youth leaders about when the next Confirmation journey starts.

If you’re not ready yet—totally cool. Keep hanging with us, and you’ll know when (or if) the time is right.
