Youth & Family Ministry
Middle School Service Camp
June 10-12 | 1:00-5:00
This is an opportunity for all middle schoolers to spend a few afternoons serving our neighbors around the Des Moines Metro. Students from St. John’s Lutheran and Faith Lutheran will join together to spend time making meals for Children and Family Urban Movement, sorting food at DMARC, participating in a hunger simulation lead by Rev. Sarah Trone Garriott, and more to come! We will also be eating yummy snacks, tie-dying t-shirts, playing water games, and learning about God’s love for us and our neighbors!
Camp meets June 10-12 from 1:00-5:00. Cost is $50 per student. Click the button below to register. This amazing opportunity is for those entering 6th-9th grades in Fall of 2024. High school students (10-12 graders) are welcome to volunteer for 12 silver cord hours. We will need parent help and people willing to drive. Let Pastor Megan know if that is something you are interested in (641-831-9499 or megan@faithlc.org).
Confirmation ministry
September—April
Wednesdays from 6:15-7:15 pm
Confirmation at Faith is an interactive program for 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students that takes place during the school year on Wednesday nights at 6:15 p.m. The Rite of Confirmation (a.k.a. Affirmation of Baptism) is celebrated in the fall of the 9th grade year during a Sunday morning worship service.
Confirmation is a time for relationship, outreach, community, and growth in the knowledge of who God is and how God is at work in the world. Confirmation isn’t just an academic process or a requirement for membership at Faith. Rather, the goal of Confirmation is to create a strong community of young people who have the tools necessary to live out a life of faith. Learn more about Faith’s confirmation program here.
Senior high youth group
September—April
Senior High Youth Group (grades 9 - 12) meets Wednesday nights from 7:15 - 8:30 in the Gathering House.
Faith Milestones
Faith Milestones mark significant events from birth to graduation by naming, blessing, equipping, and gifting families for each faith step. By marking milestones, we lift up and celebrate the faith practices through all the ages and stages of a life centered in Christ.
