Children's & Youth Ministry
Children & Youth
Children and youth are an important part of our congregation! They are the church here and now, and they are constantly shaping and reshaping our community. Our vision for youth ministry is for every child to know they are loved unconditionally by God. We work to call, equip, and ultimately send out our young people to live as people beloved by God and set free by the cross.
Our Children’s & Youth Ministry is led by our Youth & Education Committee, which meets when scheduled to discuss and plan for upcoming events and ongoing ministries. All parents of children involved in our ministries are invited to come to meetings, along with anyone interested in volunteering in our children’s and youth ministries. Contact the church office with any questions about our Youth & Education Committee!
Keep an eye on our calendar page for upcoming events, scheduled committee meetings, and opportunities to worship together!
Vacation Bible School
True North
June 23rd-27th at 5:30-8:30 PM each night
Ages 4 years old (must be potty-trained) through entering 6th grade (2025-26 school year) are welcome to attend!
This summer we'll guide kids on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS shows them that he is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!
Ongoing Ministries
- Children’s Sunday School every Sunday during the 9:30 AM service following the children’s sermon, for ages 4 years through 5th grade. We read the Bible lesson, discuss what it means and how it applies to our own lives, and complete a craft related to the lesson every week, such fun!
- First Communion Class for 4th grade and up. This is a 3 session course offered usually once a year to prepare students for taking their First Communion, for understanding and believing what it means for our faith. Please contact us if you have a student ready to take this step!
- Teen Bible Study on alternating Sundays at around 10:40 AM. We study various topics of the Bible and themes that apply to our own lives today, all teenagers are invited to join at any time!
- Confirmation Class for 7th & 8th grade on Wednesday (TBD) nights. This is a weekly class meant to really hone in our Christian beliefs, what they mean for us in our day to day and spiritual journeys, and to ultimately affirm or confirm our baptism in Christ - on hiatus for this year, we'll have a new Confirmation Class starting in September, please contact us if you have a student that would like to join!
