Youth Inquirers

Youth in grades 7-12 are invited to participate in our Sunday morning Youth Inquirers program. (Participation is open to all youth regardless of their confirmation status.) The group will meet every
Sunday morning from 10:00-10:40 beginning September 7th. Group discussions and activities will be based on I Will, With God’s Help, a guided reflection on the baptismal covenant. The program will offer an opportunity for youth to identify the beauty of blessings, share the strength of faith, and practice the joy of prayer in a nurturing Christian community. Youth who seek to be confirmed can meet the requirements by regular participation in the Youth Inquirers program.
Mentors for the group are Leslie Huber, Father Rob Fisher, Ken Larson, and Allison Moehlis. All are excited to continue to walk with our youth on their spiritual journeys.

To enjoy the fellowship of the ever-growing, younger All Saints body, and to joyfully explore the questions of life and love and why together, through music, video, song, and bible study.
