Education & Formation - Youth

Youth Group consists of all kids from 6th-12th grades. We meet weekly on Sunday evenings from 5-7pm during the school year. During this time all youth eat dinner together and then break into Jr. High and Sr. High groups where they share in worship and discussion of weekly topics. The group then comes back together to sing and share in a group prayer time.

Youth Group mission and outreach is a key component of our youth ministry. Focused local mission work for both the Jr. and Sr. High Youth includes Deer Creek of Wimberley and Habitat for Humanity. During the summer both the Jr. and Sr. High Youth participate in week long mission trips that allow our kids to serve in the communities of the mission programs. Additionally, our Youth are responsible for helping raise the funds for these trips.

Saint Stephen's welcomes all youth even if they are not members of our church to join us. Our youth groups operate under a team approach where there are two youth leaders for both the Jr. and Sr. High Youth Groups.

• Youth Group Coordinator - Cindy Taylor
• Junior High School Sponsors - Wesley Neukam and Marcia Neukam
• Senior High School Sponsors - Jim Stoltz and Traci Maxwell
