Youth Education

Children's Church:

Currently ongoing during the 10:00 AM Sunday morning service, is a Sunday School class for Pre K- grade 1.  Parents may drop children off before the service starts and pick them up after its conclusion.  They are enjoying the Hands-On Bible curriculum from Group Publishing.  It is, as the name suggests, hands-on.  Teachers use real-world objects to teach Bible truths.  Kids dive in and get involved, learning as they explore and engage.

Grades 2-5 also meet during the 10:00 AM Sunday morning service.  Kids begin the service with their families and are dismissed prior to the sermon.  They are using a combination of the Middle Grade curriculum from Concordia Publishing House and Bible Blitz curriculum from Group Publishing.  With lessons drawn directly from the Bible, kids discuss biblical truths and apply what they learn in engaging projects and learning games. 

Vacation Bible School: 
During the summer of 2007, we had a week long Vacation Bible School in which there were 12 youth attending.  We also had four fun day trips to Peninsula State Park, The NEW Zoo, The Hands On Art Studio and Family Fun Park, and Bay Beach Amusement Park.

Confirmation Program:
Our confirmation program, geared toward seventh and eighth graders, runs from 6:00 to 7:00 PM on Wednesdays.  The program provides time for fellowship and food, worship with prayer and song, and a study on God’s word.  The youth are working through Luther’s Small Catechism.  Not only are the youth learning about Lutheran teachings, but they are also learning how to teach and share it with their friends by using their bibles as a tool for their own future growth and a tool to share God’s word with others.

Senior Youth: 
The senior youth meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.  They have a Bible study and discussion time, followed by singing, a fun activity, and snacks.  Senior Youth Group members actively support church functions by preparing occasional fellowship meals, providing snacks for after service fellowship, and setting up for Youth Group events such as the annual Valentine’s Party and Easter Egg hunt.
