Students

Student Ministries covers 6th-12th grade students looking for a place to fall into God’s open arms. 

Our ministry emphasizes strategically focused Bible studies, events, retreats, and service projects to meet students where they are and ignite a passion for Christ that will stick with them wherever they go.

Student Ministries offers a unique worship experience in their own building on Sunday mornings.

What to expect:

• Students start to arrive around 9:20 a.m. to play games, grab a donut, or mingle with their peers until programming starts
• We begin our programming at 9:45 a.m. every Sunday in the Student Ministries Building
• After a few worship songs, the students are divided into HS, MS and Confirmation groups
• The lessons are tailored for each group
• At the end of the lessons, students can hang out and mingle until the building closes at 11:05 a.m. for our staff and volunteers to attend a worship service

Faith is caught as much as it is taught.

Small Groups are divided up by grade and gender and meet every Wednesday at 7 p.m. in host homes. During Small Group time, students play games, spend time with their peers, and build community with programming that is developed on open discussions led by the students but guided by our volunteers.

Our priority is making confirmation students feel like St. Luke's is a community where they belong. 

Students in grades 6-8 will journey through the confirmation pathway. Through interactive lessons, table discussions, and retreats, students make connections and friendships that will last a lifetime as they learn what it's like to be a part of God's big story. We'll dive into the core beliefs of the Christian faith and offer space for students to reflect on their own faith questions. They will have the opportunity to learn what it means to trust in Jesus even when they have questions and doubts.

At the end of that time, we have a Confirmation Retreat where each student gets to decide for themselves if being confirmed is a calling they want to pursue.
