Youth and Family (6th – 12th Grade)
The purpose of Youth and Family Ministry at Shepherd of the Prairie is to help grow and nurture the faith of our children, which is accomplished through five key ways:
- Faith is formed through personal, trusted relationships
- The church is a living partnership between home and the congregation
- Home is church, too
- Faith is caught more than taught
- It takes Christian parents and other adults to raise Christian children.
We build our relationships with God ad each other through caring conversations, devotions, service and rituals and traditions.
As a support to the parents in guiding their child on the journey of Confirmation, we provide AAA (Authentic, Available, and Affirming) adults within the Confirmation program.
