The GEM Youth Group is comprised of young people who share time participating in meetings, worship, and social and recreational activities.
The group provides teenagers with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere in which they can grow in Christ while sharing new experiences and having fun.
These young people also participate in outreach programs and off-site trips that afford them the opportunity to make new discoveries while living out their baptismal covenant.
The GEM youth group programs are open to all young people in the community.

The Baptismal Covenant Episcopalians proclaim the following in our Baptismal Covenant:
Celebrant Do you believe in God the Father? People I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
Celebrant Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? People I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
Celebrant Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? People I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Celebrant Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers? People I will, with God’s help.
Celebrant Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord? People I will, with God’s help.
Celebrant Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ? People I will, with God’s help.
Celebrant Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? People I will, with God’s help.
Celebrant Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? People I will, with God’s help.
