Youth Ministries

Who we are

We are the Youth Ministry of Messiah Episcopal Church, welcoming over 60 Jr & Sr Hi age youth. We are led by staff, Rev. David Langille, and a Youth Team of fifteen Safe Church trained adult leaders, and five Sr Hi peer leaders (our 412 team).

Our mission

We see kids coming to Christ and Christian kids becoming Christian adults.

Children's Ministries

"People were bringing little children to Jesus in order that he might touch them. When he saw this, he said to them, 'Let the little children come to me; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.' And he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them." Our aim at Messiah is to live out the vow we make at each child’s baptism: that by our prayers and witness we will help him or her to grow into the full stature of Christ.

We want our children:
