Recharge retreat

Once a year we come together for our annual ReCharge youth retreat, empowering youth to deepen their relationship with God and each other. The retreat is for youth in Grades 6-12. During the weekend, we enjoy a range of contemporary and traditional worship, which lets us experience the great diversity the Anglican Church has to offer!

 

Forms

Retreat consent & waiver forms – two forms for EVERY participant (youth and leaders)

Youth Ministry Apprenticeship Program (YMAP)

YMAP is meant to equip and prepare potential leaders for a youth ministry position in the Diocese. Leaders will learn not in a classroom, but by doing actual youth ministry.

If you have a passion for working with young people and a desire to grow in your faith, this is the perfect program for you! Or if your parish wants to create a sustainable youth ministry, this is a great place to start!

The YMAP co-coordinators are Cormac Culkeen (they/he) and Rose St. Thomas (she/they). We’re looking forward to connecting with you about the possibility of YMAP at your church!
