Senior high - 6:15-7:30 p.m.
From 6:15-6:45 p.m. junior and senior high students are encouraged to gather together for a time of dinner, fellowship and announcements.

EYC at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church Jacksonville is a safe and fun environment for students to gather each week. Each student is given the opportunity to experience growth, fellowship and dive deeper into their faith each week through Bible studies and exciting games. Middle school students gather for fellowship, games and a Bible study as well as free dinner. Our high school ministry joins for dinner and continues with games, fellowship and Bible study. EYC at St Mark’s has a passion for helping students learn and understand how God’s love and grace is a part of their lives. Our mission is to bring students and their community together to serve others and grow a passionate relationship with the Lord.
