Youth Groups and Milestones
Kindergarten – Third Grade
Kids 4 Christ and Mustard Seeds meet once a month on Sundays after worship. They begin building relationships with each other by eating and playing together as well as entering into activities designed to make the Bible come alive. Kids 4 Christ is for children Kindergarten – Second Grade and Mustard Seeds is for Third and Fourth Graders. These groups spend part of their time as a combined group and part separated to allow for age appropriate dialog.
Advent marks certain age-related milestones with something special to continue that child’s Christian journey. Milestones for this group include First Communion Class and 3rd grade bibles.
Both groups engage in service activities such as putting together food bags for homeless neighbors, collecting for the Souper Bowl of Caring and providing treats for our homeless neighbors who stay overnight during Room in the Inn.
Fourth-Sixth Grade
The focus of this group is on service. Each year, this group serves the community individually as well as attending an offsite service activity as a group. This group enjoys fellowship together as they bond together for the upcoming milestone of Confirmation.
Seventh-Eighth Grade
Advent Lutheran offers a robust program for young people ready for Confirmation. Our next class will begin in August of 2023. Click here to learn more about this enriching experience.
High School
Older youth gather for fellowship, fun and service on a regular basis. They are known for “pop-up” trips to the movies, games of Quidditch and cookie bakes. Their continuing education includes a rotation of summer retreats, the ELCA National Youth Gathering as well as longer mission trips. The youth attended a retreat designed for fellowship and spiritual development at Lake Norman Summer 2022.
