Youth Ministry
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Young people are treasures and youth ministry is a vitally important part of
First Evangelical Lutheran! Many opportunities are provided for youth to be actively
involved in the life of the church. New ideas are always welcome. The youth here at
First are gifted, loving, exciting, curious, and full of life! Our prayer is that you
find a home here amongst us and as youth and parents of youth, you feel welcome to join
us and be a part of this ministry.
In His Light and Love <><,
Kay Sawyers
Director of Youth and Family Ministry
