Student Ministry

Wednesdays 7:00 – 8:30 pm
StuMin is a weekly worship/small group experience for students in grades 6-12. StuMin explores the three relationships mentioned in the greatest commandment: God, self, and others. We want students to experience a love for God that inspires personal faith, a love for themselves rooted in their identity as beloved children of God, and a love for others that develops strong interpersonal connections and motivates a desire to serve.

Wednesdays | 7:00 pm
StuMin Worship is a high-energy and teen-relevant on-campus worship experience for students in grades 6-12. Parent Cue cards and Family Daily Devotionals based on the week’s text and theme are available for download each week. Check out the Student Ministry playlist on our YouTube channel to watch the online version of StuMin Worship and other Student Ministry videos. For more information, contact Interim Family Ministries Director, Nathan Lyke.

Our Children’s Ministry team always appreciates leadership from StuMin students. Email Dawn Ridgway to get connected with this ministry or register using the registration button below.

StuMin Family Daily Devotional | A 7-day devotional based on the weekly theme for families to read and discuss together

In response to the promise of placing the Holy Scriptures in your child’s hands, StuMin provides a 3-week course in October for 6th grade small groups about the Bible. This three-week session, offered during StuMin, will deepen students’ understanding of the Bible by exploring three foundational questions: “What is the Bible?” “How do Lutherans approach the Bible?” and “Why is the Bible useful?” Sixth graders will receive a Student Bible and learn about other helpful resources for seeking out scripture.

While this experience is led by Family Ministry staff and small group leaders, we hope families will take the opportunity to talk with their student about what they are learning. StuMin provides weekly devotional materials for families, and we encourage families to explore scripture together all throughout the StuMin years using this resource.

Confirmation within the Lutheran denomination provides a framework for students to continue in the covenant God made with them in holy baptism.

Beginning Wednesday, January 8, Confirmation curriculum will be offered within the current StuMin worship/small group schedule for anyone in Grades 8 through 12 who has not yet been confirmed. Confirmation students will participate in StuMin worship (Wednesdays at 7:00 pm) but with different content and discussion topics during small group time.

Confirmation will be celebrated during 10:30 am Worship on Sunday, April 27, 2025. We ask that you register for this program even if your student is already registered for StuMin. Please connect with Pastor Sarah [email protected] or Jess Olson, Interim Student Ministry Director [email protected] if you’d like further details.
