Children are wonderful gifts from God placed in the care of families and the church. At Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, we take this responsibility very seriously. The members and staff of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church are committed to providing quality programming for children and youth and all programming follows Good Shepherd’s Children & Youth Protection Policy. To learn more about how you can become certified, please follow the this link to the Safe Gatherings website.
Sunday School (Ages 3-18)
Sunday School is an important part of Christian education and faith formation at Good Shepherd. Sunday School is available at 9:45 AM on Sunday mornings for all ages from 3 years old to adults! Visitors are welcome in any of our Sunday School classes or studies at any time!
FX3 (Faith, Fun and Friends) for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders usually meets every other Sunday during the school year. FX3 focuses on Christian education, spiritual development and service to others that is fun and engaging for tweens!
For 6th – 8th Grade youth, Confirmation has been around in Lutheran Churches for a long time, but it is important for us to stop and think about what it is before we begin.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has said:
“Confirmation ministry is a pastoral and education ministry of the church which helps the baptized person through Word and Sacrament to identify more deeply with the Christian community and participate more fully in its mission.”
While Youth aren’t diving deep into our Lutheran text in confirmation, FLY (Faithful Lutheran Youth) gets the chance to meet monthly and do fun outings in the area!
Saints and Sinners is for High School Youth will meet on two Saturday’s each month. Plan on attending regularly as we have a year filled with fun fellowship activities, service projects and group conversation about faith and scripture. All high school youth are welcome, as as are friends.
Would you like to hang out with our amazing youth and helping them along their faith journey? Then we would love to have you. We need adult volunteers for our youth activities. If you are interested and have taken Child Youth Protection (CYP) training, please contact our Youth and Family Ministry Coordinator. We can’t do our ministry without you.
