The youth of our congregation add to the vibrancy and joy of our community. Below you find information for the Rite-13 class, Confirmation Class, and youth group. Please register your youth for their programs below.

Sixth and Seventh Graders: Welcome to Rite-13

Rite-13 is a program designed specifically for sixth and seventh graders, and is led by a fantastic team of male and female adult leaders. With the guidance of these mentors, Rite-13ers will deepen their understanding of Christian faith,

in games and group activities, take field trips and forge new friendships among their peers. Rite-13 meets on Sunday mornings upstairs at 9:45 to 10:45am in the youth room. Children must be registered.

Eighth Graders: Exploring Confirmation at St. Andrew’s

The sacrament of confirmation offers young people a chance to make an adult commitment to the Christian faith, and to be strengthened in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. During confirmation class, students will deepen their understanding of the Christian church, reflect on faith and contemporary issues, and engage in Christian spiritual practices.

Confirmation class of 2024-2025 meets nearly every Monday at 4:30, beginning in September. Confirmation class is open to youth who are 13 years or older (most typically 8th grade). For youth who cannot meet then, there will be a confirmation intensive offered over two Saturdays. Before registering, please contact Sarah Robbins-Cole to discuss which class best suits your child.

Ninth to Twelfth Graders: High School Youth Group

Our high school youth group gathers for food, fellowship, and service on nearly every Sunday evening! For the most up to date information on the youth group schedule,  please consult the weekly parent newsletter and bulletin.

Acolyte Program

Eighth through twelfth grade students are invited to serve as acolytes in our Sunday worship services. Contact the acolyte coordinator for more information about our acolyte program.
