Our Youth Ministry is committed to creating a "place" in the lives of our young people (grades 6 - 12) where they can find a safe, secure, and nurturing environment to experience the love of Christ. We know this can be a challenging time in the lives of our youth, so we create opportunities based on fun, fostering friendships, expressing oneself, and allowing our youth to grow in faith and service.

Sunday R.O.C.K.s (Rely On Christ's Kingdom)

Social Events

We plan social events each month that foster friendships and create unity between our youth, adult leaders and parents. These popular events draw big participation from our youth and the friends they invite. Our events include skiing, ice skating, water tubing, snow tubing, lock-ins, movies, hayrides, bowling, wave pool, scavenger hunts, Mall of America, Camp Snoopy, Valley Fair, skate boarding, and concerts.

Service Events

We believe that we grow in our faith and in develop deeper friendships with others by working together to serve our community. Our youth have service opportunities such as volunteering at a local nursing home, participating in Souper Bowl Sunday, volunteering at the Minneapolis Crisis Nursery, sorting boxes for Operation Christmas Child, and building floats for local parades.
