Youth ministry at st. giles


The St. Giles Youth Ministry focuses on relationship and community with God and each other!

We have two part-time leaders:
  • Taylor Greene, the Director of Security at VCU Health
  • Nohemi Oviedo, a full-time missionary with her family at YWAM
We are also blessed with volunteer leaders who are an integral part of our team! Our youth come from all over the Greater Richmond Metropolitan area, with a plethora of different school systems (both public and private, as well as homeschool!) represented.
While both of our groups (Youth Group, grades 7-12) and Rise (5th & 6th grades) love to have fun and be in fellowship with each other, at the core is a sincere desire to know the Word and to allow the Holy Spirit to enliven the Word in our hearts both individually and collectively. Events include:

Sunday Morning Donuts & Discussion (i.e. "Sunday School")
  • Sunday mornings in the Youth Room from 9:15-10:15am
Wednesday Night Youth Group
  • Wednesday Evenings in the Youth Room from 5:45-7:30 pm
  • Dinner from 5:45-6:30 pm
  • Games from 6:30-7:00 pm
  • Teaching/Lesson from 7:00-7:30 pm
Fall Youth Retreat
  • Each November, we attend a 2-night retreat at  Camp Willow Run on Lake Gaston in Littleton, NC. We've been participating in this event with 6-8 other churches for nearly 10 years now!
Summer Student Life Mission Camp
  • We're had a great time at our 2025 Summer Mission Camp in Ridgemont, NC! Many of the pictures in the slideshow above were taken at our 2024 Mission to Cleveland/Chattanooga, TN!
Overnight Lock-In Events!
  • While not scheduled on a regular basis (mainly so that our leaders have ample recovery time between events!), we typically have 1-2 overnight lock-in events per year, either at the church or at a local business (rock climbing establishments, etc.)
