Children, approximately 9 years old or in 4th grade, are encouraged to participate.

Faith Inkubators Confirmation Ministry

Confirmation ministry at Zion is a three-year program beginning in fall of 6th grade and ending the spring of 8th grade. The program utilizes the Faith Inkubators Confirmation curriculum to help children understand and learn about the Bible, Luther’s Catechism and Christianity. The program consists of intensive Biblical study, service projects, and social events with grade-level small groups. This ministry coincides with the typical school year and begins every fall. For more information on Zion’s Faith Inkubators confirmation program contact our Coordinator of Young Discipleship Chris Ziemann ().

High School Ministry

High school ministry consists of Zion’s youth group and high school small groups. Zion’s youth group consists of an eclectic group of teenagers which includes Zion members, non-members and friends. Youth group activities include:

1) regular weekly meetings (every Sunday at 6:30 p.m. in the Youth Room)
2) Bible studies
3) social activities
4) annual trips (including the ELCA Gathering, Ichthus, & mission trips)
5) concerts (local and state-wide)
6) community service projects

High school small groups consist of teenagers, under the guidance of adult mentors, who discuss relevant books, and Biblical questions. Groups meet regularly as scheduled by group members.

All high school freshman-seniors are welcome to attend all youth group meetings and activities. This ministry runs year round, however, events decrease during the summer months.
