Children & Youth
Sunday school for all ages
Our Sunday school is headed by our interim Director of Christian Education Kirsten Chase. We offer classes for all ages of children. Sunday school engages our children in many aspects of the Christian faith, including, learning Bible studies, Luther’s Small Catechism, and doing works of service to help our neighbors. Each year we sponsor a Vacation Bible School in the summer, a Trunk or Treat in October, and a Christmas pageant in December.
Students in grade 6 may begin their preparation for Confirmation by speaking with one of our Pastors.
St. Paul’s Youth (Luther League 2.0)
Our Youth Group serves students in grades 5-12 through monthly meetings and regularly scheduled outings for fun and service.
In cooperation with other area LCMC congregations we also offer an annual Confirmation retreat.
Safe church principles
All adult volunteers working with children or youth are required to be members of St. Paul's for a minimum of six months and must pass a background check every 5 years.
Adult volunteers should observe the “two adult” rule. This requires that adults are never alone with children or youth without an adult partner.
Adult volunteers should immediately report any behaviors which seem abusive or inappropriate to the appropriate ministry leader (Pastors, D.C.E, Youth Director, or congregational president/vice president).
St. Paul's has had no known incidents of abuse in its 150 year history.
confirmation info
Beginning in 6th grade students may join our weekly catechism class in preparation for the Rite of Confirmation. This is a two year program of study using the Bible and Luther's Small catechism to teach students more about their Christian faith.
