EYC is a community in which youth in grades 7 - 12 come together to deepen their relationship with Christ, learn about the Episcopal Church, serve others, share meals, and have fun!  The youth program is a vital part of the parish:  youth participate in many programs and ministries, serving as lectors and acolytes and sitting on the vestry.
