Youth Group.

On Wednesday evenings. 7:00 - 8:30 pm

Through Youth Group, our youth develop lasting friendships with teens from multiple middle schools in 4 different counties. It’s open to any youth in grades 6-8.  Youth Group provides our youth with many activities for Christian fellowship, fun and service.

Youth Group’s purpose is to have fun, to grow in Christ, and to develop a strong foundation of values that will help them grow into young adults.  At Youth Group functions, they build relationships with each other and learn that they are never alone. Activities include movie nights, ice skating, snow tubing, community service projects and retreats.

Service Projects.

The youth work on multiple service projects such as assembling grace bags, making lunches for ESCAPE Ministries and the Howard County Cold Weather Shelters.

Youth Lock-Ins.

The youth gather together to have fun and games, while having a sleep over in the church.

Youth Gathering.

Over 3 core days during 2024-July 16–20, tens of thousands of Youth who are in 8th–12th grade now will travel to New Orleans, LA (NOLA) to participate with local service organizations in accelerating service projects benefiting those in need. This is the tri-annual ELCA National Youth Gathering that also includes community and learning. The last time in NOLA, local planners said the Gathering Youth helped complete in 3 days what would have taken the local organizations 3 years to finish.
