Lack of youth groups (or youth at all) for our kids

I'm in a medium sized Texas city. My wife and I would be fine in an Episcopal, Methodist or even ELCA church. Methodists now, but I'm posting to Episcopal because that's a fine option too and far bigger Reddit sub. One of my best friends here is the retired priest of one of the local Episcopal churches. Used to be filled with youth. None now. There are also 3 local Methodist churches locally that have decent congregations but few kids. And a couple of small ELCA. No kids to speak of any of those. Our child is often the only kid at Methodist church events who isn't the kid of a church employee. And the Episcopal are even worse. One of my friends took his kids to the biggest Episcopal church and was told "if you bring a bunch of kids, we will start a youth program but right now there's no need for one." It wasn't always like this, the decline of youth in mainline churches locally has been extreme and rapid. Like total collapse over 15 years. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of kids at the big local Baptist Churches or non-Denom. For my kid to be excited about church, considering Baptist. The number of youth events is overwhelming and so many opportunities to be involved in church for the kids. But I disagree with the Baptists on just about everything. How have others dealt with this? Not trying to start an argument or talk about politics, I'm genuinely curious about how other families with kids handled the total lack of youth in our traditional churches.
