What is Faith Lutheran Youth Ministries?
v Faith Lutheran Youth Ministries is a place where all youth are
welcome. We gather together in the name of Jesus Christ to learn more about our
Savior.
v We do this by challenging students to encourage non-Christian
students to join us in our walk with Christ.
v God has given us His word to explain the mysteries of life to us.
Through hearing the word we will see life in a new way and have evidence that
God is, without a doubt, alive.
v Students are involved in almost every part of the Church.
Building this web site, running the sound equipment used in presentations, and
one-on-one ministry with each other are all ways that students have impacted
the ministry at Faith Lutheran.
v A lot of students are struggling with the expectations of
others, and are bogged down with the demands of this world. Our aim is to allow
students to shake off the routine for a while and allow God to work despite the
stress of everyday life. We hope that students would carry this quality with
them everywhere they go.
"Fellowship with other
Christians. "
v When Christians students gather together they have a common
bond. They are given an opportunity to share, relax, and have fun in a
community of people who can relate with one another.
We state this so that you
can see that we have nothing to hide, we welcome you with Jesus' love. This
page will hopefully show you why Faith Lutheran is a ministry worth
considering.
Who is God?
This question is frequently asked today. To clarify, we are not
speaking of Buddha, Brahman, Krishna, Confucius, or Joseph Smith. We are
instead choosing to speak of the same God that created Adam and Eve, led Moses
and the Hebrews from exile in Egypt, spoke through the prophets of the Old
Testament, and was made flesh in the being of Jesus Christ. For more information
on what we believe, click here.
Every Sunday morning from 10:45-11:45 all High School students are welcome to attend a Bible study. This month Matt is covering the book of Luke. Come and bring your Bible and all of your tough questions about God.

calendar for upcoming fun stuff
Sunday
Jr. High Students meet every Sunday at 10:45-11:45am
for a Sunday morning Bible Study. This Bible study time is a chance for all Jr.
High students to come and join in the fun as we look at some of the topics that
you have questions about. We also meet every Sunday at 4-6pm for our Jr.
High youth meeting. Here we have fun playing games, meeting in small groups,
and hanging out with other Jr. High students.
Many times people have this thought that there is no way that the Bible, written so long ago, could possibly be talking to us today, this is a time that we will open our Bibles and look to find out that this mysterious book is talking directly to you.

We have

Lutheran! Click here to look at this calendar for
a quick glance at what’s in store.
Summer Retreat
Every year the Jr. High takes a trip to
some place to get away from something or as attempt to get closer to God. This
year we are planning on following the tradition of going to San Diego for our
annual retreat. The trip will take place August 3- 6. Please click here if you have suggestions or concerns.
Meeting
Our next leadership/committee meeting will be Saturday
May 6th at 11am. Come ready to give your ideas for the next twelve
months. This coming year is going to be a big year.

The home is where ministry begins. Parents are one of the many parts that
contribute to the overall ministry at Faith Lutheran Church. Though it may not appear
this way, the lives of youth everywhere are influenced by the presence of their
parents. We are currently working on an effective way of reaching the parents
involved at Faith Lutheran. If you have any comments or suggestions please feel
free to E-mail the youth committee with your ideas.
Family Night
We have a
family night in place of normal youth activities every month. Food, Games, and Lots of Fun! Everybody in your family is encouraged
to come. Youth, come and show off your parents! Parents come and show off your
children! Sunday 4- 6:30 pm. Click here to view our plans for May!
