Youth Ministries
We believe that the youth are not just the future of the church but ARE the church.
Our youth are active in all parts of the church: assisting in worship, leading service projects, and even mentoring younger students.
Every year we invite our students, middle schoolers (grades 6-8) and high schoolers (grades 9-12) to go on a service trip to places like Northern Minnesota, Chicago, West Virginia, or Nashville. We get to experience the work of the Lord in many different ways.
Our youth are not the church of tomorrow, but rather they are the church of today! Through our various ministry opportunities at Christ Our Savior, young people are able to live out the gospel message every day.
Empowered for Justice High School Youth Gathering
Save the date for a multicultural High School Youth Gathering May 1-3 at Lutherdale! The theme of the gathering is EMPOWERED FOR JUSTICE and will focus on helping high school students to see how God has called and equipped them to transform their communities to reflect God’s vision of justice for the world.
Beginning Friday evening at 7pm, the gathering will go through 11am Sunday morning and will feature music, games, service activities, and a bible study presentation grounded in the work of the Criterion Institute’s 1K Churches initiative.
Invite the youth of your congregation to a weekend of fun and reflection. We will join together to consider how God’s call for us to be in loving relationship with our neighbor shapes even our connection to our finances.
Youth Permission Slips
In order to participate in any of our offsite events, all youth must have a permission slip completed by a parent or guardian.
