Middle school and high school students of St. Francis on the Hill have a wonderfully robust, vital, fun, Christ-centered, biblical program that speaks to issues facing them today.  The integrated youth program consists of the following:

YOUTH GROUP -  Every Wednesday night from 6-7:45 PM the youth (and their friends) congregate in the portable for dinner, games, and topical Bible Study.  The middle school meets separately from the high school students for the Bible study. The Youth Group periodically has lock-ins and other special events.

SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY -  Each Sunday morning, we have breakfast in Myrick Hall at 9:00 AM and then at 9:30 go to the youth portable for study of the Scripture.  (We study the bible readings for the worship service that day).  Students either worship at the 8:00 AM service or the 10:30 AM service.

MISSION SERVICE -  We are mission minded, and have opportunities for students to live out the Gospel through service to others.  We volunteer at the Rescue Mission, sponsor a child through Compassion Int., visit with the elderly at Monte Vista Care Facility, etx.

SUMMER CAMP -  We go together to a high adventure, Bible camp in Estes Park, Colorado in the Summer (Ravencrest).  In addition, students can attend the Diocesan Summer Camp outside of Santa Fe, NM:  Camp Stoney  (Junior and Senior High Adventure Camps). 

FUND RAISERS -  We raise funds with special events for summer camp.

DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM -   For our youth who sense a calling to be leaders, we are beginning a special program for developing leadership skills.

Our Church facility has a special room in, "The Portable," building dedicated to the youth.  It was painted by the youth, contains a pool table, foosball table, refrigerator, ping pong, and comfortable seating for our Bible studies.  This is the place for youth to call their own.

We have a vibrant, well-trained, prayerful team of six Youth Leaders (Dave, David, Nikki, Randal, Teresa, and Deacon Mary).  This team of individuals dedicated to sharing the Good News of Jesus with teens and preteens ensures chaperoning/safety in youth events, as well as leads Bible studies and recreation.

In addition to the Youth Program, students have additional opportunities to be involved in the Parish is a variety of ministries:

Acolytes - serving at the altar on Sunday mornings

Lay Reader - reading the Old Testament scripture during worship

Visiting the Elderly

Choir and Bell Choir - sing and play during the 10:30 service
