Life Long Learning - Youth

We have a full program for youth of all ages.

Preschool ~ 3-4 Years Old ~ Grades 1-5 ~ Grades 6-8 ~ Grades 9-12

All of these programs take place on Sunday during our Life Long Learning hour from 9:45 - 10:45 am.

We also have additional youth programs such our Jonah's Kids, H2H, and LYC and our summer Vacation Bible School. Many of our youth attend a Lutheran Outdoor Ministries camp in the summer.

Preschoolers up to two years old work with teachers to help them learn that Jesus is their friend and he loves them. The pre-schoolers meet in our beautiful nursery in the lower level of our Education Wing.

3-4 year olds through kindergarten meet for an exciting opening with songs, praises, and prayer. Then they split into two groups, according to their age, for story time and crafts. They concentrate on learning about God through Bible stories and memorizing Bible verses. They meet in the lower level of our Education Wing.

Grades 1-5 all meet together first for a worship opening, and then they are dismissed to individual classes. Throughout the year there are opportunities for these youth to gather together for special events. They meet on the second floor of the Education Wing.

Grades 6-8 meet on Sundays during the Life Long Learning hour to compliment their weekly Confirmation classes, using the "Head to Heart" program, usually held in the evening. They study the Old and New Testaments, and the life of Jesus. In addition, these students meet regularly for fellowship and service projects. These classes take place on the second floor of the Education Wing.

Grades 9-12 meet together with the guidance of an adult mentor, and generally choose the topics they feel will allow them to share and discover ways to strengthen their faith and practice Christian living in the modern world. The high school youth plan regular outings for fun, fellowship, service, and worship. They often attend youth gatherings, including summer mission trips and the ELCA Youth Gathering. They meet in the Youth room on the ground floor of the Education Wing.
