HTLC YOUTH MINISTRY

While youth group is for 6-12th grade, the youth of Holy Trinity are encouraged to be an intergral part of the entire ministry of Holy Trinity. Youth Ministries allows time set apart for the youth to interact with peers, have fun together, grow in faith, and reach out and be active members in the church and community.

Holy Trinity Youth meet on average 3 times a month for fun, fellowship, service and spiritual growth. One Sunday a month, the youth go to lunch after the 11:00 service, one Sunday they meet at church for a mix of games, fellowship and growth, and one Sunday is a either a service event or a fun outing in the community.

Check the bulletin and the weekly youth emails for dates and times.

ELCA YOUTH GATHERING

Fourteen youth and three adults attended the ELCA Youth Gathering in Houston, Texas this summer. Thirty one thousand youth and adults gathered for service projects, Bible study, speakers, bands, worship, learning and FUN! Many thanks to Holy Trinity for all the ways they supported our group to make it possible to attend this transformative event! The next ELCA Youth Gathering will be held in Minneapolis, MN in June of 2021!

CONFIRMATION MINISTRIES

Confirmation ministry at Holy Trinity is a three-year program in order for students to have a more comprehensive learning experience. Sixth – eighth graders are in one class together meeting on Sunday mornings. This year we began a university model for Confirmation. Through Discipleship University, youth will be able to pick and choose core courses and electives that fit their schedule and interests. Most classes are held during the Sunday School hour on Sundays, but students can work around sports schedules and trips by picking weeks that fit their schedule. Service projects for 7th graders, Faith essays for 8th graders, a Retreat (November 16-18, 2018) and a week at Confirmation Summer Camp at Lutheridge Retreat Center (June 16-22, 2019) are all integral parts of the confirmation ministry.

HIGH SCHOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL

High school Sunday school meets in the youth room (during the renovation it meets in the LCM room in the Worship Center) on Sunday mornings from 9:50-10:40. This year the group is discussing issues in the news. Occasionally the groups goes to Starbucks and has a time of discussion about issues in their lives. Youth & Children's Sunday School takes a break in the summer.
