Youth & Young Adults

Children, Youth and FamiliesYoung Adults

The vision of the diocesan children's and youth ministries department is to be a Christian community that reflects Christ's love and a place of acceptance of all people. The children's and youth ministry department strives to provide opportunities for young people (grades six through twelve) to come together in fellowship with other youth to grow in spiritual formation and develop leadership within the church. This mission includes supporting youth leaders and congregations in their youth ministries. While this department has been historically focused on ministry with youth (those in middle and high school), the staff are available to assist congregations with all of their Christian formation needs, including youth, children and families.

Young adult ministries in the Diocese of North Carolina focus on our 10 campus ministries and the YEAH app, where young adults can find affinity groups near them - everything from Bible studies to Taco Tuesday.

The Rt. Rev. Samuel Rodman

XII Bishop Diocesan of North Carolina

The Rt. Rev. Samuel Rodman was ordained and consecrated as the XII Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina in Duke Chapel on the campus of Duke University in Durham on July 15, 2017. He was elected on March 4, 2017.

Prior to that, he spent 16 years as the rector of St. Michael’s in Milton, Massachusetts, during which the parish established a seven-year plan that included a capital campaign for a major renovation of the church school building.

Ordained in 1988, Bishop Rodman is a graduate of Bates College and Virginia Theological Seminary. He and his wife of 32 years, Deborah, live in Raleigh. They are the parents of two adult daughters. In his free time, Bishop Rodman enjoys basketball, golf, kayaking, crosswords and creative writing.
