St. Thomas Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) is an inclusive, evangelical youth group (grades 6-12). We celebrate the diversity of God’s people and welcome you regardless of race, orientation, gender identity, or ability.
Our mission is to be a thoughtful, inclusive environment where students can be themselves and connect to their peers as we develop a deeper understanding of God and the gospel. We believe our our role is to unfold justice, kindness, and faith in the spaces around us — sometimes that looks like a guided discussion on a specific topic (Coffee Talk), and sometimes it looks like a Four Square tournament (Game Night). Either way, we’d love for you to join us.
We know that visiting a church or youth group can be nerve-wracking, so please feel free to email Holle Tubbs (youth coordinator) if you have any questions or concerns, or if you want to meet one-on-one to make sure St. Thomas EYC is right for you!
