Youth Ministry | St. Paul's Beaufort

Sunday School
9:30 - 10:30 am

Sunday School for Middle and High School students starts at 9:30 am and goes until 10:30 am. They meet each week in the Youth Room on the second floor of the Parish Administration Building. This Fall, Middle and High Schoolers are exploring the questions that they have about the Bible and the Church. These questions range from Church History to Women in the Bible. So join us and bring your questions. Let’s see if you can stump our Associate.

Crosswinds

Crosswinds is our youth group for Middle and High Schoolers. They meet every week for dinner and programming in our Parish Hall. Each week alternates between scripture and outreach-based programming. We have played Minute-to-Win-It Games based on stories from the Bible, and we have tye-dyed pet bandanas for our Blessing of the Animals Service. We hope that you will join us! Please reach out to our Associate for more information.

Glory Ridge

Glory Ridge is the location of our yearly youth outreach trip. Glory Ridge is a special place to many people in the diocese of East Carolina and is located in Marshall, NC (right outside of Asheville, NC). Each year, St. Paul’s joins other Episcopal Churches at Glory Ridge to help make repairs to homes for locals that would not be able to afford the repairs themselves or who cannot physically make the repairs themselves. It is truly a “mountain-top” experience for anyone who goes.

Diocesan Youth Events

The Diocese of East Carolina offers a wide range of events for middle and high school students to get together, learn, and worship. As a parish, we support the diocese by attending these different diocesan youth events. To learn more about the events that are coming up, you can go here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Baptism. Confirmation. Marriage. Funerals. At these extraordinary times, we celebrate them as sacraments. According to the Book of Common Prayer, sacraments are "outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace, given by Christ as sure and certain means by which we receive that grace." We look forward to sharing these special sacramental moments with you.

At St. Paul’s, the history of our parish is important to us. When you walk into the narthex of the church, you are greeted with the pamphlets named “A Brief History of St. Paul’s.” Our history reflects how we came to be a parish in beautiful Beaufort, North Carolina, but it also continues to inform how we move and remain present in the community today. We hope you will take the time to learn a little bit more about us.

We as Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. St. Paul's is part of the Episcopal Church, a church that is both rich with ancient tradition and relevant to life in the 21st century. We believe that God loves you - no exceptions.

We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the whole world.

Providing crucial financial support to our parish and its ministries is a big part of how we express our commitment to this special community of faith.

This year’s pledge drive is about more than our parish budget. It is about how we transform generosity and allow generosity to transform us. Our lives can be changed through this work. YWe all are invited to work together to transform generosity in our church, our community and our lives.

Stewardship is our total response to the fullness of life given to us by the God in whose image and likeness we are made and remade. We believe that all that we have and all that we are ...our time, our talents and our treasure is to be offered back to God, to be used in partnership with Him and His Church for the salvation of the world. This is a lifelong process that we ,as followers of Jesus, give ourselves freely too.
