Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) embraces middle schoolers (6th through 8th grade) and our high schoolers (9th through 12th grade).
Our mission is to welcome and provide a community that offers
opportunities for our youth to engage with others, work with others, and
grow in their faith with others through fun and fellowship.
Some EYC activities include park hangouts, summer & fall kick-off events, weekly Middle and High school EYC gatherings.
Contact Joleen George to get involved. All volunteers are required to complete the Safeguarding God's People training every five years. Please email Scott Fleischer for more information.
Sunday Mornings
Sunday School for 6th through 12th graders
ASC Room 209 | 9:30-10:15AM
This semester, all middle and high school students are invited to join us for Leadership Academy, which will bring in various guest speakers to talk to the group about the life skills they need for entering college and the work force.
Sunday Nights
EYC - Episcopal Youth Community
- Youth in grades 6th through 8th are in Middle School and meet from 5-6PM on Sunday evenings.
- Youth in grades 9th through 12th are in High School and meet from 6:30-7:30PM to on Sunday evenings.
On Sunday nights, our youth group has formation, and this will be time to focus on fellowship. Learning about each other in EYC is essential, so each Sunday night, we will get together as a group and have a good time with games and food. Parents, this is one easy way that you can help! We have dinner from 6-6:30PM for every typical EYC night. This meal usually feeds 50-60 youth. To sign up, email Director of Youth Ministries Joleen George.
Our Youth program has a lot to offer! For more information and to sign up for our weekly eNewsletter, email Joleen.
Second Sundays - ServeUS
The second Sunday of the month we offer a different format for our EYC gatherings. The second Sunday of the month will be service-oriented. We call this ServeUS. This offering is designed to provide opportunities for our youth to step out of their comfort zones, to invite and welcome all, fostering and growing new relationships, and to ingrain in our youth the importance of service. Through offering a wide variety of service opportunities we seek to teach our youth how to make service a part of their regular life.
Some previous partner orgranizations include: Harvest Hope Food Bank, Miracle Hill, United Ministries, Project Host, Interfaith Hospitality Network, Ronald McDonald House, Mill Village Farms, Greenville Free Medical Clinic, and Greenville Parke, Recreation and Tourism.

Diocesan events are held in various locations and are open to all youth and their friends. Each of these events, while focused on a specific age group and theme or program, is designed to deepen the spiritual development and the leadership skills of the participants.
