Jr & Sr High School Youth Group
Sunday Mornings ~ Sept. thru May ~ 10:15-11:15
Sunday mornings during our Christian education/Sunday School hour, our 6th – 12th graders join Mr. Luke in the Youth room. They use the Answers in Genesis “Answers Bible Curriculum” viewing it from two specific lenses:
What are they learning, have heard, and may continue to hear in school?
How can we use what we are learning to have loving, inviting conversations with our friends and others we care about?
If we can’t apply what we’re discussing on Sunday mornings to our own world and reaching others’ lives, what is the point?
Teenagers are reaching a point in their lives where they realize they can make an impact on the world around them, AND they have to start making some big decisions about what they believe. They have to start deciding how they see the world and how they are going to interact with that world. Our hope is that we can help them make wise, Godly decisions, that aren’t their parents’ or teachers’ decisions… but are THEIR OWN.

SUNDAY EVENING YOUTH GROUP
Twice a month, our 6th - 12th graders join forces with the youth of Trinity Conklin (LCMS) & St. Luke Nunica (LCMS) for a co-youth group time. From 5-7 pm we have dinner, games, devotional thought/discussion, and just a chance to be together under the one name, Jesus Christ.

Confirmation
Our 6th-8th graders meet for 2 weeks in the summer for Bible instruction. It is a great opportunity for them to learn about their faith and to get to know each other a little better.
Confirmation provides a way for the church to work alongside our families in “training our children in the way they should go” (Prov. 22:6). Opening the scriptures with our youth and showing them what it means to be a Christ follower. It is one stepping-stone for the youth in the life of our church to make more & better disciples.

LCMS Youth Gathering
June 28- July 1, 2026
Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to be encouraged in their walk with Jesus Christ and learn about the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity.
Youth Gatherings proclaim the Lordship of Jesus Christ and God’s saving grace to His people through Christ. In this setting, young people grow in their personal relationship with God and grow in their fellowship of Word and Sacrament in Christ’s Church.
Youth Gatherings are a vehicle by which the Church reaches out to, cares for, and affirms young people, both churched and unchurched.
Youth Gatherings equip youth and adults for ministry and vocational service in a variety of settings in their congregations, communities, and world.
Youth Gatherings affirm, equip, and support adults who work with young people.
Youth Gatherings celebrate the meaning of Christian joy in all of life’s situations, including transitions and crisis.
Youth Gatherings recognize and affirm the diversity of God’s people.
Youth Gatherings affirm, support, and promote the ministry of LCMS Districts and congregations.
This event is organized by LCMS Youth Ministry in Saint Louis, MO. For additional ways to connect to LCMS Youth Ministry, please visit www.lcms.org/youth.
Together. As followers of Jesus, it’s important to gather around God’s Word, love all people, serve those in our lives, and encourage our fellow followers to walk in God’s grace and light. All of that is better together. All of that is easier together. God designed us to be together. So let’s get together at the Jr. High Youth Gathering and celebrate God’s grace and mercy together!
