Youth Ministry

Senior High School Youth Group
Youth who are in 9th through 12th grades meet twice a month on Sunday evenings at 6:30 pm.  All meetings scheduled for the second and fourth Sundays of every month are posted on the website calendar.  Each meeting includes games, snacks, and a learning time.  See the calendar for the location of the meetings and activities.  Youth may call or text Pastor Kratzer at 330-495-8710 for more information.

Middle School Activities
Catechism Classes
A comprehensive three year program that includes study, service, and recreation runs from September through May each year. Four days of Catechism Camp each summer builds relationships and faith. Contact Pastor Kratzer (330-454-3978) if it’s time to keep the promises made at baptism to provide for instruction in the Christian faith. This program must be completed before youth may participate in the Service of Confirmation.

Sunday School
Donuts and hot or cold drinks are available at 9:00 a.m. in the large fellowship room on the lower level. Most classes for youth begin at 9:15 a.m. The Senior High students meet in the Youth Room, next door to the Choir Room. They use The Wired Word to discuss issues that are in the media that week. Middle School students gather in a spacious corner room that is also used for Catechism instruction. During the Sunday School hour, the Firelight series is used to connect Bible stories to life today. Grade school children have two lower level classrooms – one for grades 1-3, the other for grades 4-6. Pre-school and Kindergarten children meet in the upstairs nursery room at 9:15 a.m.
