Youth Ministry


Youth Ministry is returning to an in-person format for the 2022-2023 year. Please register for Youth Ministry (Sunday School) here 

The continued spiritual formation of middle and high school youth lies at the heart of our identity as a parish community. In addition to Sunday morning youth education classes, Christ Church is committed to offering young people opportunities to explore their faith through worship, fellowship, and service - both in and outside of the church. Programs are designed to encourage young people to study and reflect upon scripture, and to provide a loving, supportive space in which to cultivate their identities as Christians.

To best serve the needs of youth of all ages, young people are divided into groups for Sunday education classes. Each group is led by a team of two to four volunteer teachers under the guidance and with the support of the Rector.


Seventh and eighth graders, who meet at 10:00 a.m, on Sundays, use the Sticky Faith: Can I Ask That? and "My Faith, My Life" by Jenifer Gamber curriculum to deepen their understanding of lectionary texts and church history.


Ninth through twelfth graders meet every Sunday to consider complex social issues in light of the Christian faith utilizing an engaging mix of conversation, field trips, outside speakers, and theological study. 


Confirmation classes are offered for all youth interested in becoming full members of the church. A series of eight classes is offered by the clergy each spring. Upon completion of the course, candidates are confirmed by the Bishop of Washington.

Youth Pilgrimages & Service Trips

At Christ Church, summer youth trips alternate between a spiritual pilgrimage for the high-school class, and a domestic service trip. For more information, contact Chrissy Casey, Youth and Family Minister.
