Youth Groups at Lord of Life
Soul Squad
Soul Squad is Lord of Life’s youth group for 3rd – 5th grade students. While we hope that every child attends Sunday school, you do not have to be enrolled in Sunday school to be a member of Soul Squad. The Club introduces our children to ethics and social awareness in a fun, friendly environment. Students have snack and fellowship, play games, and engage stories from the Bible. We meet the first Sunday of each month from 12:30 – 2:30 PM at the youth center. Lunch is provided!

We meet the first Saturday of each month from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at the Youth Center.

First Holy Communion
Preparation for first Holy Communion begins in 5th grade or at about age 10 (or older). Students and parents meet with Ms. Leigh and Pastor Debi to learn about the gift of Jesus' body and blood, and the forgiveness that we receive and that sets us free. Students receive their first Holy Communion on the Thursday evening of Holy Week (the week leading up to Easter).
Confirmation
Students entering grades 7 & 8 (or older) meet weekly on Sundays after worship to learn about what Christians believe, the history of Lutheranism, and how we are all called to live as Jesus' disciples. Classwork, service opportunities and retreats happen throughout the school year. The program is completed after 3 years of participation.
