Immanuel has vibrant youth ministries for a variety of age groups all year long. Whether it is regular programming in our church, Vacation Bible School, or broader opportunities at Bible Camp or retreats, we encourage kids to participate in Christian Education as regularly as they are able.
PreK-3rd Grade:
Sunday School for PreK-3rd grade meets Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. (before worship). Kids join their families a short time into the service.
4th - 6th Grade:
Our 4th-6th grade group, God Squad, meets after school on Wednesdays, from 3:45-5 p.m. A snack is served for them.
7th-9th Grade:
Confirmation classes begin in the 7th grade year and continue through the fall of 10th grade. Students meet Wednesdays at 6 p.m. in both large and small groups with a Confirmation Guide. Meals are provided by confirmation families on a rotating basis. Confirmation students have many service and fellowship opportunities throughout the year and take turns serving as Sunday morning acolytes.
10th-12th Grade
10th grade students fulfill their final confirmation requirements and celebrate Affirmation of Baptism in the fall of their 10th grade year on Reformation Sunday. Following that, they are encouraged to participate in the life of our church by serving as ushers, lectors, & communion assistants.
High School students are invited to participate in our high school youth group, which meets for fellowship, sharing highs and lows, and various events.
