Sunday mornings from 9:45-10:45 are our opportunities to connect to God's Word, our faith, and one another through our YouthConnect hour. Bible studies based on the liturgy aim to get at real world issues in the lives of our youth and help activate their faith to be lived beyond the walls of the church. We don't hide from hard issues; we play and laugh a lot; and of course, there are donuts!
We take a break from Youth-Connect in the summer and focus on our SERVE trips where youth and adults are sent out to be Grace In Action. See below for the latest places our youth are sent to.
Fuel - 7th & 8th Grade Confirmation
During the middle school years, youth are invited to affirm their baptisms through the faith milestone of confirmation. We gather Wednesday nights throughout the school year to focus on the basics of our faith in the small catechism through large and small group teaching. We build lifelong relationships with each other and adults who have committed to nurture the faith of this generation by walking with them over the 2 years. Retreats and mission trips throughout our time allow youth to get away from the daily distractions of life and focus on the gift of faith God has given each.
Da'Light Wednesday nights
High school youth take extra time before the start of their week to dive into faith-filled conversations about big (and little) issues in their lives. Guided by Scripture, they wrestle with the God of grace and what it means to follow Jesus in every aspect of their lives --from their social media presence to their relationships and extracurricular activities.
Shalom Bell Choir & Youth Band
Youth from 6th - 12th grades are invited to be a part of our SHALOM music ministry. The Shalom Ringers and Youth Band meet weekly to rehearse band and handbell music to help lead worship throughout the year.
Youth Serve Trips
Serve God and others. It's that simple.

The Middle School Mission Trips for 2021 are still being discussed. COVID-19 has made lots of changes to our schedules, including the ability to plan far ahead. When we know the dates and possibilities, we'll be sure to pass them right along! Thanks for your patience and prayers!
