St. John’s strives to be a place where youth in 6th-12th grades can grow in faith with friends under the guidance of awesome faithful mentors. We aim to have fun and care for one another while learning to live Christian lives together.
Wednesdays, September-May
6:15-7:30pm in Fellowship Hall
Through large group teaching lead by pastors and small group discussions lead by faith-filled college students and adult mentors, Confirmation is designed for students to grow in faith alongside their peers. During Confirmation we’ll engage youth in the Biblical narrative, leave space for them to explore the “burning questions” about life and God, and explore the ways we can live a life rooted in Christ.
Sundays, September-May
9:50-10:40am in the Youth Room
Youth are welcome to come downstairs to hang out together in our youth room between services. During our gatherings, we enjoy playing games, eating donuts, talking about life, and reflecting on the gospel lesson of the week.
In the summer, our middle school youth attend Green Lake Bible Camp in Spicer, MN and can join our fun Magical Mystery Tours. During the school year, we often find ourselves playing night games at church, serving at places like 2nd Harvest, and having adventures like our annual canoe day trip. Check the online church calendar for upcoming events!
