Youth

Our Savior’s mission statement is “To know Christ and make Him known.” We offer bible studies, fellowship opportunities, and local outreach for the whole family to achieve this goal.

Sunday School: Sunday mornings Sept.-May 9:15-10:15am. Pre-6th grade students begin as a large group in the sanctuary with music and Bible memory verses, then break into grade level groups with their teachers. Sign up f o r t h e 2 0 2 3 –2 4 s c h o o l y e a r here.

Sprouts: Sign up here! Wednesday afternoons Sept.-May 3:30-5pm. We pick up K-6th grade students at their dismissal time (including early release Wednesdays) in Zumbrota, Goodhue, and Pine Island. Communicate with your child’s teacher that they will be riding the Our Saviour’s Bus. The kids begin with a snack and music together, then split into K-3 and 4-6 grade groups for Bible teaching, scripture memory and game time. Parents are always welcome!

Chatter & Scatter: 2nd& 4th Fridays Oct.-May 9-11am. This is a free, indoor play time for families. Kids can run and jump in the bounce house, play in the gym, listen to Bible stories and have a snack while parents make connections and enjoy conversation.

VBS: We had about 150 kids and about 50 volunteers for our VBS this summer!

Senior Youth (7-12 grade)

Wednesday evenings: This year-round group studies the Bible and grows in friendship. They are taught how to read and study the bible on their own and how to take ownership of their faith. They enjoy playing dodgeball and basketball in the gym or card games in the youth room.

Camp Patmos: The students love going to camp in Northern MN over MEA weekend. Our church attends with 3 other churches in a much smaller setting so the kids get to know each other well. They enjoy the quiet time in the morning given to them to study the Word, the speakers, and the beautiful fall scenery on the lake. Capture the flag and other night games make this camp a favorite among the students!

FLY: The Free Lutheran Youth convention takes place in Estes Park Colorado at the YMCA camp in the Rockies with 2000 students. Kids have many learning opportunities while enjoying the hiking, games, and scenery of the camp.

Confirmation: This stepping stone to help youth bring their relationship with Christ into adulthood.

Other: The kids also enjoy bowling, trampoline parks, and hanging out at their youth leaders house for bonfires and movie nights.
