St. John in the Wilderness has an active EYC for 6th through 12th graders, with a Sunday School class for those in middle school.

EYC often meets outside of Sunday School for activities that include outreach, just-for-fun, and everything in between. Annual events include a picnic and swim in Pisgah Forest, participating in Relay for Life to benefit cancer research, and Christmas shopping for local children in need. We also join in larger parish events, such as helping the Chefs of St. John cook and serve breakfast.
