TLC Youth Ministry

Don’t let anyone put you down because you’re young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. ~ 1 Timothy 4:12

Vision:

TLC Youth Ministry exists to help young people to…

1. Honor God - in ways that are meaningful and relevant.
2. Grow in Friendship with Jesus-by learning and teaching about Him.
3. Reach out to others - to connect them to Jesus.
4. Have a safe place to belong together.
5. Help people - just because it’s the right thing to do.

NEW THIS YEAR:  On FLASH and Bridge nights, we want to offer OPEN YOUTH NIGHT at the Youth House for all 7-8th grade students. That way, if you are bringing a younger student to a program, you can bring your older student to hang out in the Youth House for pool, ping pong, videos, board games, and chatting. THIS CAN ONLY OCCUR WITH PARENTAL HELP!  Please Contact Patty J if you are available to help supervise!

Senior High Events – This year our program calendar has been greatly affected by our plans to attend the National LCMS Youth Gathering. Due to the high costs of this amazing event, much of our year is devoted to fund raising. These are work events where we provide a service to people in hopes that they would financially contribute to our program.  Our schedule will be announced soon.
