Sunday School

Our Sunday School Program is for children in Preschool through High School.  We have five classes:  Pre-K - Kindergarten; 1st Grade - 2nd Grade; 3rd Grade - 5th Grade; 6th Grade - 8th Grade; and 9th Grade - 12th Grade.

Classes have begun, but it is not too late to join.  Our families attend the Divine Liturgy together, and classes begin after Holy Communion is distributed.  If you have not registered your child(ren), please contact the Church Office.

Youth Family Nights

Youth Family Nights at Saint Barbara's are a time for our families to interact with one another.  Parents and children worship together, eat together, learn together, and play together.  In a world where everyone is disconnected and always on the go, Youth Family Nights provide an opportunity for our families to reconnect in a healthy, spiritual environment.

Our next Youth Family Night will be Friday, November 21st at 6 pm!  We will begin with a Small Paraclesis (Supplication) Service, followed by a Pot-Luck Dinner.  After dinner, we will break into our Youth Groups (listed below) for activities and discussion.  The remainder of the evening will be family free time!

Please join us - and if you are new to our community, this is a great time to meet our youth families.  For more information, please contact the Church Office.

Young Adult League (YAL)

The Young Adult League is for all young adults - college students and young professionals - who seek to remain connected to their Church, and who wish to become the future leaders in their community.  The YAL focuses on worship, education, fellowship, community service, and witness to the community at large.


Our Young Adult Team consists of:
Adam Carralejo - Worship & Education
Alex Chuchas - Fellowship
Diana Georghiou - Witness
Sophia Kenrick - Service

Activities are currently being planned, and dates and time will be forthcoming shortly.  If you would like more information regarding this ministry, please contact the Church Office.

Saint Barbara Dance Program

Our Dance Program is committed to teaching the traditional dances of our Greek heritage in a Christian environment.  We currently have two dance groups:

Thavma - 13 to 18+ years of age

We have also initiated an adult dance group that meets the first Sunday of every month.  The Instructor for these groups is Helen Ioannidis.  For more information, please contact the Church Office.
