ECW Retreat at Camp Mikell

April 26, 2026

What a joyful day we had at Camp Mikell yesterday for the ECW Atlanta Diocese Women’s Retreat!
We enjoyed hiking, crafting, worship, and fellowship with women from across the diocese, while also learning about international ministry opportunities supporting children.
Centered on the women of the Bible and other influential women in history, our theme—Reclaim, Respond, and Rejoice—reminded us to live boldly in faith. We return refreshed, grateful, and rejoicing!

Church Organ for Sale

April 26, 2026

$25,000

This Rodgers 950 organ is fully loaded with front Rodgers and antiphonal Walker speakers plus a floating solo division, Rodgers PR300 floppy disk unit, and Rodgers pipe control with two relays.

Seeking Youth Minister

April 26, 2026

St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Snellville, is hiring a part-time youth minister. St. Matthew’s strives to be a welcoming home for all who seek Jesus Christ as we share God’s love with the community.

Youth Minister Summary:
St. Matthew’s is looking for a warm, dedicated, and organized youth minister. This person will offer hands-on, relational, and visionary leadership for youth and their families. Working closely with clergy, staff, and lay volunteers, our youth minister will help foster a lively, inclusive spiritual community focused on lifelong Christian growth. The role combines pastoral care, program management, volunteer development, and curriculum oversight.

In this role, the youth minister will develop and lead a vibrant youth ministry that encompasses faith formation, fellowship, service, and worship. The youth minister’s goal is to create a safe, inclusive space where every youth can discover the person God created them to be and be a part of a safe, welcoming community of youth and peers. This position is not just about coordination — it involves actively engaging with youth on Sundays and at major parish and diocesan youth events throughout the year.

What You’ll Do

  • Inspire and Guide: Model the Christian faith, helping students at St. Matthew’s grow as disciples and leaders of Christ. Build positive, trusting, and affirming relationships with our teens.
  • Create Engaging Programs: Coordinate Sunday morning Christian Formation classes and Sunday evening Youth Group activities. Collaborate with the Christian Formation and Youth Committees on major initiatives, including Confirmation Preparation Classes and youth-sponsored parish events such as the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper and Vacation Bible School.
  • Build Community: Create a welcoming environment where teens are eager to invite their friends to the church. Recruit, train, and empower adult volunteers to support youth ministry programs and opportunities.
  • Lead Beyond the Walls: Collaborate with the Parish Outreach Committee to create meaningful service opportunities both inside and outside the church. Promote and organize participation in diocesan programs, including New Beginnings, Happening, and DYC.
  • Empower Youth in Worship: Support worship ministry leaders in helping teens become active worship leaders, including acolytes, ushers, lectors, and eucharistic ministers. Work closely with and help coordinate with our volunteer adult acolyte leaders.
  • Manage the Ministry: Communicate clearly with parents, teens, and the broader parish community through social media, email, and other publications. Create and oversee the youth ministry budget, and collaborate with other parish ministries for opportunities for youth involvement. Meet monthly with the Rector to evaluate and discuss the program. Hold regular meetings with the Youth Committee and attend the monthly Christian Formation Committee Meeting. Maintain mature, safe boundaries with youth and the parish community. Be at church on Sunday mornings and evenings, as well as during seasons such as Christmas and Holy Week.

Who We Are Looking For

  • An energetic, mature, and compassionate person with genuine curiosity about faith and how teenagers develop it.
  • A person with 2-3 years of experience working with youth and adult volunteers in professional or volunteer roles.
  • An individual with a background in, or familiarity with, the Episcopal Church.
  • An individual who will complete a professional background check and the Safeguarding God’s Children and People Programs and the Dismantling Racism Program through the Diocese of Atlanta.

The Details

  • Schedule: This part-time position is expected to average 20–25 hours per week, with flexibility throughout the year based on church seasons and program needs around Christmas, Holy Week, and Easter.
  • Leadership: Reports directly to the Rector (the lead clergy member).

To apply: Send a cover letter and resume to Father Tim Meyers (rector@stmatthewssnellville.org)

ECW Flower Arranging Workshop

April 12, 2026

St. Matthew’s recently hosted a delightful afternoon of creativity and fellowship at our ECW Luncheon and Flower Arranging Workshop. Our resident expert gardener, Ms. Janis, shared her expertise with over 30 attendees, teaching us the secrets of visual hierarchy and the practical magic of florist tape. Using a vibrant selection of locally sourced blooms and fresh greenery harvested straight from the church gardens, everyone crafted a unique masterpiece to take home. The workshop included a beautiful salad luncheon with desserts. Check out the photos to see the stunning arrangements and smiling faces from the day!
