“Our ministry exists to Reach all youth, to help them Share in God's Word, to Offer themselves in Service to Christ, and to Care for one another”.
Care = Fellowship
Reach = Evangelism
Offer = Worship
Share = Discipleship
Service = Ministry
As a body of youth who are finding our way in God’s great presence, we strive to follow what Christ has asked of us. First, to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and spirit, and to love our neighbor as our self. (Matt 22:37 – 40) Secondly, to live out Christ desire to see us teach the world what it might look like to follow Him. (Matt 28:19-20) We do these things through Caring for one another, Reaching out to those in the community, Offering ourself as a living sacrifice to God, Sharing, about what God has done, and Serving others in need. Each month in Youth ministry from grades Pre School to College age we provide opportunities for you to come and experience these five aspects of God’s Church. Check out the activities calendar for all the different events this month and come experience God’s Grace at Christ Lutheran Church.

Monthly Activities
As a youth ministry, we love to have fun. Every month we provide activities for all Youth from ages Pre Kindergarten to College Age Adults. Sometimes our activities are focused on servanthood and ministry. Other months we may stay up all night and party. We like to do everything from Lock-Ins and Retreats to making crafts for our shut-ins or serving food to those less fortunate. Whatever we do, we do for the glory of Christ. To come party with us check out this month’s calendar for the list activities.
CRAVE
Crave: To crave for something means we desire it more than life it self. It consumes us, it drives us and it engulfs our life as a whole. When I crave ice cream I have to have it, no matter what. Get out of my way because all I can think about at that moment is ice cream. Many times I wish my spiritual life was like my Craving for Ice Cream. I wish I Craved to know more of Christ and His Ministry. I wish I Craved to understand my relationship with God and how that relationship fits in this crazy thing we call life. If this is you, if you Crave a better understanding of your spiritual formation and what God is doing in your life than this is for you. Every Wednesday night from 8:00 to 9:30 come take the journey you have probably been Craving for all your life. - Rich Marotzke, Youth Directory
