Student Ministry

Wednesdays 7:00 – 8:15 pm
StuMin is a weekly worship/small group experience for students in grades 6-12. StuMin explores the three relationships mentioned in the greatest commandment: God, self, and others. We want students to experience a love for God that inspires personal faith, a love for themselves rooted in their identity as beloved children of God, and a love for others that develops strong interpersonal connections and motivates a desire to serve.

Wednesdays | 7:00 pm
StuMin Worship is a high-energy and teen-relevant on-campus worship experience for students in grades 6-12.

Check out the Student Ministry playlist on our YouTube channel to watch the online version of StuMin Worship and other Student Ministry videos. For more information, contact Student Ministry Director, Dana Becker.

StuMin Family Daily Devotional | A 7-day devotional based on the weekly theme for families to read and discuss together

In response to the promise of placing the Holy Scriptures in your child’s hands, StuMin provides a 3-week course in October for 6th grade small groups about the Bible. This three-week session, offered during StuMin, will deepen students’ understanding of the Bible by exploring three foundational questions: “What is the Bible?” “How do Lutherans approach the Bible?” and “Why is the Bible useful?” Sixth graders will receive a Student Bible and learn about other helpful resources for seeking out scripture.

While this experience is led by Family Ministry staff and small group leaders, we hope families will take the opportunity to talk with their student about what they are learning. StuMin provides weekly devotional materials for families, and we encourage families to explore scripture together all throughout the StuMin years using this resource.

Confirmation is a 10-week course offered to students in grades 9-12. In Confirmation, students commit to taking the lead in their own life of discipleship. We help students prepare for this commitment by exploring who God is, who we are, the story we’re a part of, and the life we’ve been called to as followers of Jesus.

Sessions are offered on Sunday mornings. Each session culminates with a worship celebration when the students publicly affirm their faith.

Confirmation will not be scheduled for Fall 2022. Please watch for information about the Winter/Spring session beginning the second week of January.

This schedule change will allow for a proper transition following the search for a new Student Ministry Director.
