Cathedral Youth: The Treehouse

Formation, Outreach, and Community

The Youth Ministry at Christ Church Cathedral is a vibrant community where students in Grades 6–12 explore big questions, build lasting relationships, and see the light of Christ in one another. Whether through deep discussion or high-energy fellowship, we empower our youth to be leaders in the church today.

Youth Mission Trip

Our youth mission trip provides an opportunity for young people to grow in faith, serve communities in need, and build lasting friendships through shared work, worship, and reflection.

Leadership & Mission

We believe our youth are not just the future of the church—they are the present.

  • Youth Ministry Council: We provide leadership development opportunities, giving students a voice in shaping our community.
  • Diocesan Events: We actively participate in national and regional gatherings like Happening and the Episcopal Youth Event (EYE).
  • Mission Trips: Our “Cathedral DNA” involves serving others. From local outreach to international missions in places like Costa Rica, we put our faith into action.
