Youth Ministries
Diocesan Youth Ministries
Young people have a vital place in the life and leadership of the Diocese of Virginia. Through retreats, relationships, worship, and shared experiences, Diocesan Youth Ministries brings youth from across our congregations together to grow in faith and discover how they can follow Jesus in their daily lives.
Youth Leadership Team
Members of the Diocesan Youth Leadership Team have been selected! The team will meet for the first time on October 10, 2026, in Fredericksburg. Together, they will help plan our upcoming Middle School and High School Retreats, bringing their voices and ideas to gatherings created for young people across the diocese.
Middle School and High School Retreats
Save the date: April 16–18, 2027, at Shrine Mont. Middle and high school students will gather for a weekend of faith, friendship, and connection. More details about the retreats and registration will be shared as plans take shape.
Youth Leaders: Get Involved
Youth leaders are invited to participate alongside the Youth Leadership Team in planning and supporting these retreats. To learn more or express your interest, please contact Youthministries@episcopalVirginia.org.
We look forward to what our young people will create together, and to welcoming youth from across the diocese to Shrine Mont this spring.
Shrine Mont Camps
The Diocese of Virginia’s summer camp program at Shrine Mont promotes the emotional and spiritual development of children, youth, and young adults through the fostering of a safe and positive environment for all. It is the goal of this program to encourage the growth of relationships with self, others, and God.
Triangle of Hope
The Triangle of Hope is a covenantal community between the dioceses of Liverpool (England), Kumasi (Ghana), and Virginia dedicated to transforming the long history, ongoing effects, and continuing presence of slavery in our world through repentance, reconciliation, and mission. Participants in the youth pilgrimage prepare together through worship, prayer, study, and retreats, then travel as pilgrims to another diocese or host fellow pilgrims here in Virginia each summer for three summers.
