Youth Ministry

(6th – 12th Grade)
 

Confirmation (6th – 9th Grade)

Confirmation (also known as the affirmation of baptism) is a very important step in the faith journey of our middle school youth. Pastor Ben Hilding leads students as they dive into what it means to be a Lutheran, being a Christian in the world today, and publicly affirm their faith in front of trusted adults and peers. Students are confirmed in the fall of their 9th grade year.

Agape (9th – 12th Grade)

“Agape” (ah-gah-pay) is a Greek word that means unconditional and enduring love for all from God. Holy Trinity believes high school students are the leaders of today. They are smart, kind, creative, intuitive, and have so much that they bring to the table. By providing a space where students can ask tough questions, develop meaningful relationships with their peers, and pursue leadership opportunities, the goal is to feel “Agape” as the beautiful person that God created them to be.
