EXALT

EXALT (XLT) is a powerfulencounter with Jesus Christ that will help you grow in your faith. The night begins with praise and worship
music led by a live band. This leads into a witness talk or teaching, followed by adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.  At the end of the night, there will be an opportunity to meet other young people who are excited about their faith.

This year, we’ll generally be meeting on the first Friday of each month from 7-8:30pm, to reflect on the things that God is calling us to do.  Here’s an outline of the dates, themes,  and confirmed speakers for XLT throughout the year (the next event is written in bold):

About

Youth Ministry at Holy Trinity Parish exists to accomplish three goals:

1. To help young people to know Jesus Christ.
2. To form them into His growing disciples.
3. To call them into loving service of God and of neighbor.

How do we do that? By creating an environment that is exciting, welcoming, Christ-centered, and full of surprises. It is a place where you can meet great people, ask honest questions (and get honest answers), and discover your purpose in life. There is a place for you here at Holy Trinity. If you are a young person in grades 6-8, check out our junior high Conquest & Challenge Groups, or in grades 9-12, check out LIFE TEEN, and we also have many opportunities for young adults to get more involved.
