Children of the Cross

The youth of Good Shepherd, ages Jr. High through High School, are known as Children of the Cross. We do many fun activities such as: Youth OWL night (lock-ins), Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center (LOMC) retreats, Children’s Christmas program, Youth Sunday, Easter Breakfast, and Vacation Bible School.

We believe that the youth experience God’s grace throughserving others. Community service is important part of ourr youth ministry. Our youth participate in Souper Bowl of Caring, food pantry collections, baking cookies for Operation Good Fellow, nursing home visits, making cards for homebound members as well as taking leadership roles in worship services..
