Youth/Link
Grades 6 -12
We are connected through Christ to grow and serve in His image.
At Incarnation our youth are involved in all aspects of church life from choir, to serving as assistant ministers on Sundays, to building houses in Mexico, to participating in Family Fellowship, to doing outreach into the community as well as just having fun. Our discussions help us to better understand how our faith can be lived out as young Christians. We delve into issues of social justice, relationships, hunger, homelessness, and so much more. We are dedicated to living out our faith through service activities both at Incarnation and in our community. All 6th – 12th graders are encouraged to participate.
Family Fellowship
On the third Sunday of each month we gather for Family Fellowship. This is a time for the family of God (which includes everyone from the young children to senior citizens) to get together for some fun, food and fellowship. We invite the community to participate whether visiting or a regular member.
Youth Trips
Youth are encouraged to travel together for retreats, camps, and youth gatherings. Each year brings new opportunities for our students. Opportunities also arise for youth to participate in mission trips that can take them to other parts of the world. Small groups have traveled to Cameroon to work on renovations of a house for our Center for Girls. We regularly help in Mexico to build houses through our partnership with Project Mercy. In summer of 2024, the youth travelled and participated in the ELCA National Youth Gathering with youth from all over the world. Youth are encouraged to get involved in these missions and others to live into their call as Christians in the world. Travel may be restricted by age requirements.
Confirmation For All Ages! 2025-2026
Not just for Middle School!
1st & 3rd Sundays – 4:30-6:30pm
Out of Middle School but didn’t take Confirmation? Been a while since you went through Confirmation? Need a refresher? New to the Church? Want to learn more about being Lutheran? No problem! This class is for you too!
Confirmation provides individuals with the basic building blocks for growing faith. It’s for all ages – not just middle schoolers. For children baptized at a young age, Confirmation prepares them to take on the responsibility of their faith journey for themselves. Most are ready to do so by 8th grade. For adults AND kids, it’s a great foundation to faith.
