Student Ministries

   Minimize

The youth groups at Immanuel Lutheran are divided into 2 groups, Jr. High 6th-8th grade and High School 9th -12th grade. Once students have completed the 12th grade they are invited to participate in our Adult Ministry.

 

Jr. High meets weekly on Wednesday nights from 6-7:30 for Bible study, games and fun. Jr. High meets monthly for fellowship events. Every winter Jr. High students have the opportunity to attend a youth gathering called Youth Quake. Jr. High students also have the opportunity to participate in mission trips locally and nationally. During the school year there the Jr. High Sunday School classes are divided into 2 classes: 6th grade and 7th-8th grade classes.

 

High School meets weekly on Wednesday nights from 6-7:30 and 7:30-9 for Bible study or Thursday evenings from 5pm-7pm. High Schoolers also participate in monthly fellowship events, quarterly retreats, and local service. Every year students participate in a youth gathering rotating between our area, state, and national. High school students also participate in missions both local, statewide and nationally. There is a High School Sunday School class with all four grades combined.
