Children & Youth Ministry

One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts
Psalm 145:4

The Church is the family of God

Raising your child in the faith is one of the most important things you can do. But you aren’t called to do it alone! Whether your child is still in diapers or almost out of the house, they have a place in the family of God here!

Nursery

Our nursery is available most Sundays throughout the school year from 9:15-11:45am to assist parents during the Bible class hour and worship services. It is available to all children from birth through 4 years old.

Sunday School

Kids aged 3 (by Sept 1) to 12th grade are welcome every Sunday from 9:15-10:15am. Our Sunday School classes include music, crafts, games, and lessons in God’s Word. We aim for children to know they are created by God, saved by Jesus, and guided by the Holy Spirit.

Confirmation

Our two-year confirmation focuses on the basics of the Christian faith: the 10 Commandments, the Apostle's Creed, the Lord's Prayer, Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and Confession. We also dive into application and apologetics, working through tough questions in preparation for a life of faithful witness!

Youth Gathering

Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to be encouraged in their walk with Jesus Christ and learn about the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity.
