Youth

outh ministry engages middle and high school age youth with opportunities for Christian fellowship, for service to their community and for personal, spiritual growth. This is provided through various activities and events throughout the year. All young people are welcome and encouraged to invite friends!

Scout Troop 284

For nearly 80 years Troop 284 has been dedicated to enriching the lives of young people through the Scouting Program. Founded in 1930, we have nurtured hundreds of young people into successful adults, and have had the pleasure of seeing over 125 of them become Eagle Scouts. Our meetings are held every Thursday evening during the school year at St. Paul's from 7:30 to 8:45 pm.

If you would like to join in on the fun, visit http://www.troop284.net, just attend one of the meetings or send a note to [email protected]

Youth Mission Trip: McDowell County, WV

We believe a good mission trip has three components: meaningful work, spiritual growth, and Christian fellowship. Since 2012, our youth have experienced this and more through our relationship with ministries in McDowell County, West Virginia.

Projects range from home repair, to hunger initiatives, to animal shelter support, all coordinated by local individuals and organizations. Our youth and chaperones spend a week, living in community in Welch, WV and working on a variety of sites.
