Middle & High School Youth

We’re excited to walk alongside students as they explore faith, build friendships and grow into strong, confident disciples. Our ministry offers engaging opportunities designed to challenge, inspire and connect young people in meaningful ways. We invite all middle and high school students to be part of this journey. There’s a place for you here!

Middle School Youth (5th-8th grades)

• The Crossing Confirmation Classes – An opportunity for students to learn, reflect and strengthen their faith as they prepare to affirm their commitment to Christ. Guided by pastors and mentors, confirmation is a meaningful journey toward spiritual growth and understanding.
• Camp Luther Retreats – Escape into nature, faith and fellowship during the summer and winter retreats at Camp Luther. 
• Special Events - From action-packed paint war to relaxing nights by the campfire, our special events are all about fun, friendship and faith.

High School Youth (9th-12th grades)

• High School Youth Group – A weekly gathering filled with games, food and great discussions on Biblical topics.
• ​National Youth Gathering – A life-changing event where young people from across the country come together for worship, learning and service. The National Youth Gathering is an unforgettable experience that strengthens faith and inspires a future rooted in Christ.
• Camp Luther Retreats – From outdoor adventures to deep conversations around the campfire, students experience renewal, connection and encouragement during the winter retreat at Camp Luther.
• Special Events - Join us for unforgettable moments that build friendships and strengthen faith - whether at our uplifting Night of Hope, an exciting Timber Rattlers game, or one of our many other special events.
