Gwinnett Summer Singers
Godspell Wrap Up!
What an incredible weekend! Over the course of three performances, we welcomed 290 attendees, including ticket holders, donated admissions, and our dedicated front-of-house volunteers.
A special thank you goes to every parishioner who attended the show, shared it with friends, or helped spread the word. Our fellowship efforts for this production were a tremendous success, with positive reviews all around. Our audience included theater fans who traveled from as far away as Orlando, Florida, while others came from Alpharetta and Cumming after discovering us through the show’s script website. We also welcomed community members who have attended previous productions, as well as those who simply drove by, saw our sign, and decided to make it a Friday night date night.
Most importantly, none of this would have been possible without the time, talent, and dedication generously given by so many members of our St. Matthew’s family, including our choir and several newcomers who joined our growing theater program. More than 33 volunteers filled roles in the cast, crew, band, front of house, and countless behind-the-scenes positions that are essential to bringing a production like this to life. To them—and to the families who supported them along the way—we offer a heartfelt THANK YOU for the hundreds of hours spent creating something magical while sharing The Word through the arts.
Funds raised through this event support our Capital Campaign, helping provide the resources our church needs to continue serving future generations and strengthening our ability to give back to the community we serve.
Thank you for helping create something truly special. Hang on tight—we can’t wait to see what’s NEXT!

ECW Retreat at Camp Mikell
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!

Seeking Youth Minister
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)
