Kids & youth

Sunday School & Youth Corp

Every Sunday at 10, kids in kindergarten through 6th grade head to Sunday School, then come upstairs for Communion with their families. Older kids have Youth Corp. Both are led by Chelsy DeHart, who also directs youth and young adult ministry for the Diocese of Long Island and helped create the StoryMakers curriculum.
