MISSION & ministry
Children & Youth Commission
We believe the future of our church lies with our children and our youth. We cherish our role in caring for and nurturing their spiritual lives, and supporting the many youth programs in our Congregations.
Young people are the life and future of a congregation, and we treasure the opportunity to help them grow in their faith. To do this, the Commission works to identify needs and possibilities for youth ministry within the Convocation. We help provide solutions for individual parishes by procuring curriculum and sharing resources. We work to connect youth leaders with one another to enable them to share best practices.
Inspire, Mentor, and Make a Difference in Young Lives!
We are currently looking for volunteers to be a bridge between individual congregation youth programs and the Convocation, to facilitate the spiritual growth of our youth. Please contact Heidrun Alfke to learn more about getting involved.
