SJL Has Lots For Kids
God loves kids and wants them to know Him. We value children and families, connecting kids, and partnering with parents so they can be the primary teachers of the faith to their kids. We make it a priority to ensure kids and students don’t just have a fun time at church – but that they find Jesus and community that goes beyond Sundays. Check out all the different ways we get to share Jesus’ love for children.
SJL Kids
From 9:30-10:15 AM every Sunday (during the school year), enthusiastic leaders lead our students as they dig into God’s Word through activities, video, discussions, and music. These special classes provide opportunities to hear Bible stories, sing songs, make new friends, and learn of their Savior, Jesus Christ, in an age appropriate setting. Our mission is to help your child learn to love the God who created and saved them in Jesus. And we want to make lifelong memories and friendships along the way.
Confirmation
We provide a time of instruction for middle school students (6th, 7th, and 8th grades), so that in the spring of their 8th grade year, they’re prepared to confirm (that is, say again) what God said about them at their baptisms – that they’re members of His family!

Youth Group
Middle School Youth Group
All 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are invited for a monthly gathering. Each month, we have large group and small group time, play games, and enjoy discussions that circle around living out our faith in daily life. This is a great place to bring your friends from school, work, or the neighborhood and be surrounded by people who know and love Jesus and grow together as followers of Christ.
High School Youth Group
All 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th graders are invited for a monthly gathering. We connect through service opportunities, events, mentoring, and connecting with the larger church. We understand the importance of partnering with parents, and we are here to provide help and hope as we come alongside each parent. This group also serves on a yearly Servant Event and attends the LCMS National Youth Gathering.
Special Needs
Special Sundays
From 9:30-10:15 AM every Sunday (during the school year), we serve a wide range of ages and abilities with a gentle and fun-loving atmosphere that includes worship, Bible stories, music, crafts, and snacks. We want everyone to feel included, loved, valued and supported as we receive God’s love and forgiveness.
Special Vacation Bible School
Every June, for an entire week, we connect individuals with special needs and their families to Jesus. Join us for a special week of Bible stories, creating crafts, and singing.
