Youth

Growing Faith at Every Age

From toddlers to high school seniors, Saint Paul offers opportunities for young people to grow in their faith, build lasting friendships, and have fun in a Christ-centered community.

Nursery

Children are always welcome in worship—we love the joyful sounds they make! If you need a little extra space during the service, you're welcome to use our unstaffed nursery that includes toys and a changing table. The nursery is located off the lobby near the side doors.

You’ll also find blue activity bags at the back of the church to help keep little hands busy during the worship service.

For more information about children in worship, contact Dari Hartmann at the church office.

Kid’s Time

Ages 2 – Grade 1

Our Kids Time program offers younger children an age-appropriate worship experience during the Sunday 9:00am and 10:30am contemporary services with Bible lessons, crafts, games, and songs. Kids Time starts right before the sermon and allows kids to spend the second half of the worship service downstairs in Luther Hall with caring leaders.

Kids Time meets on Sundays:

  • year-round during the 9:00am service

  • throughout the school year during the 10:30am service

Faith Builders

Faith Builders is our Sunday school that takes place during the Sunday morning 9:00am worship with their families. The kids leave before the sermon for age-appropriate Bible adventures in the lower level of the church.

Jr. High Youth Group

Lighthouse is a place for middle school students to grow in faith, build friendships, and have fun together through games, events, and meaningful conversations.  The group meets twice a month during the school year on Sunday evenings in Luther Hall. For more information, contact Dari Hartmann at the church office. ‍ ‍

High School Youth Group

Grades 9 – 12

Underground helps high school students stay connected to their faith and community through Bible study, service projects, mission trips, and social events.  Most summers, the high schoolers go on a week-long mission trip through Group Workcamps to make home repairs for those struggling financially. Every three years, they attend the LCMS Youth Gathering.  

Underground meets every Sunday night (excluding holiday weekends) during the school year in the Youth Room. For more information, contact Jeff Kuester at the church office.
