The NextGen Department at St. Peters by the Sea seeks to help students and families realize their mutual adoption to the body of Christ as agents in the Kingdom of God.
Both middle and high school students gather on Sunday nights for youth group for food, games, and relevant discussions about the Bible, faith, and life. Throughout the year, middle school students enjoy special activities such as Fall trips to the pumpkin patch, holiday parties, local service projects, seasonal retreats, and summer camp.
In addition to Sunday night youth group, high school students experience the life of faith and build relationships through multiple trip and service project opportunities, including Confirmation, house building in Tijuana, holiday events, seasonal retreats, and summer camp.
High school students have the opportunity to serve on mission to a designated community, engaging in physical, relational, and spiritual work, building connections and growing their cultural awareness.
We offer sleep-away camp experiences for upper elementary, middle, and high school students, providing students an opportunity to step away from the busyness of urban life to experience God and to grow their relationship with Jesus in beautiful outdoor spaces.
Middle School Launch is a celebration and an equipping event, recognizing the transition from children’s to youth ministry. Each fifth grader is celebrated for their spiritual and emotional growth as they prepare to join the middle school ministry. Parents are equipped to continue to
engage relationally and are empowered to continue having faith conversations with their preteens.
Confirmation is an intentional process of experiencing the life of faith by studying and discussing theology, serving, and building friendships. Teens have the opportunity to express a mature public affirmation of their faith and commit themselves to the responsibilities of their baptism. They also get to select a mentor who will walk this journey with them.
High School Launch is a celebration and an equipping event, recognizing the transition from middle to high school. Each eighth grader is invited in to a place of belonging and celebration in high school ministry. Parents are equipped to continue to engage relationally and are empowered to continue having faith conversations with their teenagers.
Senior Blessing is a significant milestone for graduating high school seniors and their parents to remember and celebrate their student’s faith journey to this point and to look forward to the significant new season ahead. During worship, the congregation will bless and pray for each senior and their parents, giving the students a Bible and inviting the St. Peters family to consistently hold the graduates in prayer.
