Parents of children and youth (ages 1-18) are invited for an evening of fellowship, vision, and information about the children and youth ministry programs. We believe that Jesus has called us into community because we need each other. Our children and youth programs want to be a part of that community, coming alongside our amazing families to help them be the best families/parents/students that they can be. Please join us from 6-7:15pm on September 6th in the middle school room at West Side for dinner, fellowship, and everything you need to know for the 2023-2024 school year.
MS & HS Open Door Group
The Open Door Group is for middle school and high school students who just need a place to hang out after school on Thursdays. There are snacks, games, and most of all the freedom to just be you and hang.
MERGE @ West Side
MERGE for high school students meets this fall on Sunday evening from 4-6pm in the high school space in the south building on our campus. MERGE represents the combining of two youth groups (West Side and Richland Lutheran) as we come together to grow in our relationship with Jesus in fun and exciting ways. We believe that God’s people are called together outside the walls of just one church. We believe that we are stronger together and that the differences we do have help to grow us as individuals, as a community, and as Jesus followers.
Sunday Gathering
Our Sunday Gatherings are opportunities for middle school students to show up on a Sunday morning, from 9:00-10:15 am and take next steps in their relationship with Jesus and their understanding of His word. Gathering will resume Fall 2023. While more low-key than Basic on Wednesdays, we prioritize teaching in interesting and relevant ways that help the students know themselves better, know each other better, and know Jesus better.
We will gather upstairs in the Narthex by the tables before service, then go into worship together. After worship, we will head to the middle school room as a group.
A2 | After Alpha
A2 or After Alpha is a group for high school students who have questions about the bible. Instead of coming and downloading a bunch of information, we value peer to peer relationships where the group gets to figure things out together. There are no wrong answers, just honest opinions. Come for dinner at 5:15pm and stay for games before digging into great conversation.
