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.
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 4 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 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.”
Saints and Sinners is for High School Youth and meets on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. 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.
Vacation Bible School is offered every summer at Good Shepherd for children ages 4 to rising 6th graders. We are going on a MISSION TO MARS for our 2019 program.
Youth trips are scheduled for youth in 6th through 12th grade during the summer.
The High School and Middle School youth just experienced a lot of work, a lot of fun and a lot of faith transformations on this year’s trips! Thanks to everyone who made them possible!
Do you like to hang out with amazing youth and help them along their faith journey? Then we would love to have you. We need adult volunteers for our Saints and Sinners activities. If you are interested and have taken Child Youth Protection training, please click the link below to see our list of events we are having. We can’t do our ministry without you.
