Families with Children and Youth

Families are where faith formation begins. Our active children and youth ministries welcome all ages into a warm, loving environment in which to grow in faith. At St. Paul’s, your family will have the opportunity to participate in many faith-filled, fun activities together. Our parish community values, supports, and ministers to children, respecting the unique perspective children bring to their faith. It is truly through their eyes that we behold the face of God, allowing them to minister to us.

Christian education and formation begins at infancy, within the family. It continues at baptism. In the waters of baptism, we are lovingly adopted by God into God’s family, which we call the Church, and given God’s own life to share and be reminded that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ. Education and formation continue through participation in church events such as Sunday School, vacation Bible school, youth groups, and Confirmation classes.

At St. Paul’s, we nurture faith and spirituality by providing opportunities for the children and youth to explore their relationship with God, and their relationship with each other and the world. Each child is nurtured in ways that help them figure out who it is that God has created them to be. Even the youngest children can learn, early in their faith journey, to try to live into the promises made for them at their baptism through the Baptismal Covenant, and that they will affirm for themselves at their Confirmation. At Confirmation, young people and adults make a mature public affirmation of their faith, recommit themselves to the responsibilities of their baptism, and receive laying on of hands by a bishop. St. Paul’s feels blessed to accompany them on this journey.

Youth Ministry at St. Paul's

Our youth hear far too often and far too loudly that their worth lies in their achievements: what grades you get, how many sports you excel at, what instruments you play, what college you will attend. At St. Paul's, however, the first, last, and most important thing youth will hear is that they belong. There is no "them." There is only "us." No matter your interests, experiences,…

Acolytes

An important youth ministry involving Worship service is our Acolyte ministry. Acolytes are trained to perform specific duties during Sunday morning services to ensure the proper flow of Worship. We take our service serious but we keep it fun! Plus, you don’t have to sit in the pews! All youth grades 5 and up are invited to participate.


Calvary Camp

Many St. Paul's youth and families attend the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh summer camp, Sheldon Calvary Camp. Learn more about Calvary Camp by visiting their website.


Cotillion

Cotillion is a wonderful St. Paul's tradition-- since 1957, to be exact! St. Paul's cotillion is offered to rising 6th grade students. It is more than "punch and snacks"-- in the course of nine monthly classes, cotillion teaches students different traditional dances (such as the waltz, foxtrot, or tango),as well as important life skills, such as how to introduce themselves, the i…

Mission Trips

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus is asked "Who is my neighbor?" At St. Paul's, one way we seek to answer that question is through our mission trips, connecting with people both nearby and far away. By expanding our definition of community, and seeing all whom we encounter as our neighbor, we are able to do God's work in the world. We seek to form partnerships with those who are servi…

Bob Melvin

Youth Minister and Director of 8:45 Music
412-531-7153 ext. 18 |

Bob joined the St. Paul’s staff in August 2021, bringing a deep love of both music and community to his roles, and having spent most of his adult life in the neighborhoods where those streets intersect. He has a degree in journalism from Penn State University–where he met his future wife when she arrived for graduate school and he, after graduation, had decided to stay and start a band–and has spent time as a writer, musician, and stay-at-home dad.

Bob lives in Dormont with his wife Karen and his sons Elijah and Jack, and they have joyfully attended St. Paul’s since 2014.

The Rev. Noah H. Evans

Rector and Chaplain to St. Paul's Nursery School

The Reverend Noah H. Evans, our Rector and pastor, has been with St. Paul's since March 2017. Ordained in 2004, previously, Noah served as the Rector of Grace Episcopal Church, Medford, Massachusetts and as the Associate Rector of St. Anne's in the Fields Episcopal Church in Lincoln Massachusetts. Noah was born and raised in Lansing, Michigan. He is a graduate of Washington University in Saint Louis and The General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church. Noah lives in Mt. Lebanon, with his wife, the Reverend Sara Irwin, an Episcopal Priest, who serves as the Pastor of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church in Carnegie. Their daughter Adah was born in 2009 and their son Isaiah was born in 2007. They have a Golden Retriever (Blue) and two chickens (Noise and Buckbeak). Noah loves cooking, smoking meat, local foods, current events and politics, the intersection of church and society, movies and television and teaching the bible. He was the co-founder of Life Together: the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts Young Adult Internship Program and has served on the boards of a number social-justice non-profits. In 2016, Noah received the first Wallace H. Kountze Community Service Award by the Mystic Valley NAACP for his work on multicultural issues. He is excited about the inter-generational energy at St. Paul's and helping to lead the congregation to more boldly serve the wider community and the world.
