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.

Programs
Sunday School (Ages 5-18)
Sunday School is an important part of Christian education and faith formation at Good Shepherd. Classes are available at 9:45 AM on Sunday mornings for all ages from Kindergarten to adults! At any time, visitors are welcome in any of our Sunday School classes.
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.”
On the Second Sunday of every month we plan an activity to gather together with our families outside of Good Shepherd. Please check the church calendar for the events. We typically meet near a Woodstock location around 2 -4 PM.
VBS (Ages 4-12)
We offer Vacation Bible School every summer at Good Shepherd for children who are rising pre-k to rising 6th graders. Stay tuned to our website for launches and updates.
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.
