Youth and Families
St. Peter & St. Paul grows disciples of Jesus Christ in folks from birth to age 99 and everyone in between. We like to integrate all ages in ministry as much as possible. But we also recognize that each age group and demographic also has unique needs. Cobb County is filled with families, and St. Peter & St. Paul reflects our neighborhood.
We believe that children and youth are not the future of the church, they are the church NOW. Whenever appropriate, we seek to integrate children and youth into the rest of parish ministries, including reading scripture and prayers in worship, serving the chalice, on service ministries and elsewhere.
Our primary support for families comes in Children’s Ministry (infants through grade 5) and Youth Ministry (grades 6-12, and college age). Kids are also active in Acolytes, Children’s Choir, Youth Choir, and Scouting. Our Adult Christian Formation programs also address family issues in particular in their programs.
