- 7th and 8th grade students enroll in our two year
Confirmation Program, which prepares them for their Affirmation of
Baptism in the spring of their 8th grade school year. Confirmation
participants attend weekly classes on Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 pm
and on Sundays from 9:45 to 10:45 am; regular worship attendance is an
ongoing expectation as well. There is a fall retreat for both grades and a
spring retreat for the 8th grade class. There are various service and
fellowship opportunities which occur during the year. You may contact Dee
Weinke, Director of Youth Ministries, at
youth@stlukespr.org for further
information.
- 9th – 12th grade students are active with various
congregational leadership, educational, fellowship and service
opportunities which help them explore individual next steps in their faith
journey. St. Luke’s offers a weekly Sunday morning forum for high
school youth from 9:45 to 10:45 am. Bible studies, movie discussions,
service and outreach opportunities keep the forums fresh and busy for the
active teens. We strive to provide opportunities to help fill their need
to reach out to each other, their congregation and to the local and world
communities. Wednesday evenings from 4:30 to 7:00 pm, we offer
space for our youth to come for a mid-week break at their church home.
They are able to do homework, use the gym, have dinner and socialize in
order to reconnect at church during their challenging and busy week.
- Our Youth Program is one that is supported in planning and
implementation by youth families, by other adult leadership and by the
congregation as a whole. The Education Cabinet oversees the efforts
of a developing Youth Team and various Task Groups who commit to both long
and short term projects and events.
