Children come to us full of wonder and joy, and already knowing something about God. Our task is to nourish the seeds of God's love that have already been sown, and to help our children find ways to strengthen their relationship with God throughout their lives. We do this through the stories of the Bible and our Church, by encouraging their wonder and helping them discover their deep joy, by welcoming them fully into the Saint John's community, and by involving them in all that we do. Our children are full members of Saint John's Cathedral, and we cherish their presence here.

The goal of our youth program is to help our young people journey into adulthood knowing that this community cares about them and will help them to become the best people they can be.


Volunteering in our Children's and Youth Programs
The Children and Youth Programs rely upon dedicated volunteers in our community. If you're interested, we have a variety of ways for you to help. Please talk to Kim McPherson to find out how.
