EYC at Christ Episcopal Church is welcomes all youth in grades 6-12. We have students from many schools in the Tuscaloosa area and pride ourselves on a loving and inclusive environment.
We meet regularly on Sunday and Wednesday nights, have special events, fundraise for church and community projects and engage in deep conversations about how to know, love and serve God and others.
We believe that consistency in leadership is what brings the youth ministry together and helps build relationships between youth and staff. Our youth staff brings joy, dedication, and a knowledge of the Episcopal Church, youth ministry and leadership to our EYC programs. Nick DuBose heads our youth program with the assistance of college interns from The University of Alabama.
We offer Sunday School for all youth in grades 6-12 between the 9 AM and 11 AM services in the 3rd floor Youth Room.
Most Sunday nights start with dinner, provided by parents or other parishioners. Dinner is followed by separate evening programs for Middle School (grades 6-8) and High School (grades 9-12). We talk about the love of Christ we encounter in our daily lives and how God is in action in the world. Pickup and Dropoff are at the 7th Street entrance.
EYC may not meet during parish-wide special events.
EYC Small Groups take place in parishioner homes and the schedule varies. To learn more about current dates and offerings, please contact Nick.
Wednesdays offer an opportunity to build community among all youth in grades 6-12 with games and formation activities. We meet in the Gym on the third floor. Pickup and Dropoff are at the 7th Street entrance.
Youth events provide special opportunities to grow together in Christ. Youth will be given more information about upcoming events as they are scheduled.
Annually, youth host a 4×4 Basketball Tournament! This parish-wide event helps raise funds for a specific cause, project, outreach or community organization.
