Youth

Overview

The youth ministry program here at Trinity is designed to help youth focus on the purpose which Jesus Christ has for each of their lives. There are many distractions and challenges the youth of our society face everyday. The youth ministry here meets youth where they are. In a world filled with materialism and selfishness, and a world which tempts youth with cheap substitutes for Christ, the youth ministry here emphasizes a life selflessness. We show the love of Christ in every area of our ministries allowing youth to experience the love of Christ and the acceptance into His family.

We teach youth the basics of Christianity, and give them the tools to dig deeper and grow closer to our creator.

We instill a sense of commitment and dedication to God’s will in each student’s life. We give youth opportunities to serve and to be dmpowered by God so that when they are presented the oppportunity to share the love of Christ, they are ready!

Confirmation

The Confirmation Program here at Trinity Lutheran Church is a program that is designed to help students take ownership of their faith by teaching them what a relationship with Jesus Christ is all about, as well as how our faith and doctrines apply to their life and what their purpose and role is in God’s mighty plan! Confirmation is just one step in the Journey, not an end. Not a graduation from church. We are in this for the long haul with you, if you will let us! Faith with Christ is a life-long journey and we need community to help form us, hold us accountable, and challenge us. We encourage you to keep your student active after they are confirmed. Confirmation is open for students all the way through 12th grade. If your student feels like they would like to wait and be confirmed in a later year, that’s OK! We really want to emphasize that students enter this process when parents and students both feel that the student is ready. There is no specific age that a student is automatically ready to go through this process, so please let us know when they would like to participate in the confirmation program so we include them in the process! See the attachment below for the confirmation registration forms and more details!

Youth Ministry Vision

Create a community of believers so passionate about Jesus Christ and what He has done for them that it excretes out of every pore of their being, resulting in the desire for total submission and commitment to the will of Christ in every part of their lives through the Grace of Jesus Christ.

Middle School Ministries

The Middle School ministries are designed for students between 6th and 8th grades. The middle school ministries will use a variety of methods to teach youth to love Christ with all their heat and then empower them to show the love of Christ with everyone the cross pths with. The middle school ministries will utilize large group youth worship as well as small group ministries. In small groups youth have opportunities to build strong Christian friendships with other students. Youth become a part of a community which will love them, encourage them in their faith and empower them for ministry in the areas they are gifted in and are passionate about. There are also opportunities for fun and fellowship through outreach events, retreats, lock-ins, ski and snowboard trips and mission trips.

High School Ministries

The High School ministries are designed for students in grades 9th through 12th. The high school ministries focus on a variety of issues, helping youth to further deepen their personal walks with Christ. The high school ministries also empower youth to fulfill Christ’s purpose and will in each student’s life helping youth to realize what that purpose is and giving them the tools necessary to complete that purpose. The high school ministries utilize opportunities for fun and fellowship through outreach events, retreats, lock-ins, ski and snowboard trips, and mission trips.

Confirmation Ministries

Confirmation is specifically designed for students who are in grades 8th through 10th. There are two years of confirmation instruction in 8th and 9th grade years, and students are then confirmed in the beginning of their 10th grade year.

Confirmation is also designed to teach youth the doctrines of our faith, and then instill a lasting and living faith in students. This lasting faith impacts students for the rest of their lives. Students are not just taught the doctrines of our faith, but also equipped to share them with whoever God brings into their circles of influence by living out their faith.
