What we do

Metanoia Youth Ministry at Holy Trinity Parish in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, is dedicated to serving teens in Grades 9-12, fostering conversion, and nurturing lifelong relationships with God while building a strong faith community.

What We Do:

  • Sunday Youth Nights: Weekly gatherings designed specifically for high schoolers, featuring games, small group discussions, and faith-based activities to deepen relationships with God and each other.

  • Retreats and Conferences: Opportunities for teens to step away from daily life and encounter Christ through prayer, worship, and community, including participation in Steubenville Atlantic.

  • Special Events & Service Opportunities: Engaging social, spiritual, and outreach events that help young people grow in faith and leadership.

 

The term "Metanoia" signifies a profound transformation of mind and heart, reflecting MYM’s mission to inspire such change in the lives of teens.

Volunteer with Metanoia Youth Ministry

Youth Ministry Leader

Youth Ministry Leaders serve as the core mentors and facilitators of Metanoia Youth Ministry. They lead small groups, give talks, plan retreats, and foster meaningful relationships with teens to help them grow in faith and community. Leaders actively engage in discussions, guide spiritual formation, and create welcoming spaces where youth feel safe to explore and deepen their relationship with God. They also collaborate with other leaders to plan events, develop teaching materials, and support the overall mission of the ministry.

Leader in Training (LIT)

Leaders in Training (LITs) are young adults or senior high school students who aspire to grow as future Youth Ministry Leaders. They assist with small groups, shadow experienced leaders, and take on leadership responsibilities gradually while learning about youth ministry dynamics. LITs receive mentorship, training, and hands-on experience in facilitating discussions, leading prayer, and supporting events. This role provides a formative leadership journey, allowing participants to develop confidence, communication skills, and a deeper understanding of faith-based ministry.

Co-op positions may be available through the Co-operative Education 10-12 program. Contact alex.stapleton@holytrinityns.ca for more details

Support Team Member
Support Team Members handle the essential behind-the-scenes logistics that keep Metanoia Youth Ministry running smoothly. They assist with administration, tracking expenses, preparing food for Youth Nights, coordinating supplies, and managing communications (emails, social media, or promotions). This role is ideal for those who prefer to serve through organization, hospitality, and operational support rather than direct teaching. By ensuring the practical needs of the ministry are met, Support Team Members allow leaders to focus on building relationships and leading faith formation.

Applications for the 2025-2026 school year will open soon, in the meantime if you would like to serve in any of these ways in the remainder of 2025, please reach out to youth@holytrinityns.ca
