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

LCMS Youth Gathering
July 19-23, 2025
What did you think of the Gathering?
Kaitlyn: It was cool to keep our minds on Jesus and all the sacrifices He made for us. I liked that we got to listen to so many different speakers from so many different backgrounds and hear their faith journey.
Abby: I liked the feeling of togetherness and kinship. I also loved the concerts for worship as you can put your heart into it. I loved the freedom they gave us to go to multiple stations whenever we wanted.
Emma: I really liked the mass gatherings at the Super Dome. I loved the bands, the speakers, and hearing their personal stories about their lives and faith. I liked hearing how God helped them ‘Endure’ through the good and hard times.
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.

What did you think of the Gathering?
Olivia: Going to church in the big old church and the waterpark.
Anna: My favorite parts were when Pastor Tyler talked to us and the water slides.
Elijah: The waterpark and the service project.
Symphony: I really liked the water slide. How they had songs to bring us closer to God and how so many people liked to celebrate Him.
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!
