At Saint Paul Church of Sacramento, we have youth programs that will bring our youth closer to god. Take a look at our programs below to find out how to take your next steps!
Youth Choir
Program Description: The goal of the Youth Choir is to spread the message of the gospel through singing for youth (grades 7-12). St. Paul’s youth are invited to share their gift of singing by participating in this choir. Participants are trained on singing, music composition, and singing along with others as one voice. The Youth Choir sings every last Sunday of the month.
Ministry Benefits: Participating youth gain confidence in their voice, are able to meet other teens who are serving the Lord, and gain boldness in their faith. In addition, the Youth Choir fosters spiritual growth and appreciation for God’s word through classical and contemporary gospel music.
How to Join (participant): If you are interested in joining please contact the ministry chairperson. Youth can also attend choir rehearsals to join.
How to Join (volunteer): The Youth Choir is looking for workers who love the youth, are able to commit to rehearsal dates, interested in grooming Godly teens, and appreciate different styles of gospel music.
Meeting Time & Location: Contact the Minister of Worship & Arts for information

Community Service
It is important for youth to become good neighbors. Jesus talks about the story of the good Samaritan. St. Paul’s youth are reminded to always be ready to help others. In the past our youth have collected clothing and food to donate to the local women shelter. In addition, youth worked tirelessly at the Ronald McDonald house by helping them spruce up their living quarters. Our youth believe in service toward others.
Field Trips
St. Paul has an active youth department. Our youth learn principles from the Bible while also having fun in the Lord. Some of the youth activities in the past include: Great America, Six Flags, Laser Tags, Speed 1 racing, ice skating and many more other exciting activities. If you have questions regarding St. Paul’s youth department please contact the chairpersons.
