Children & Families

You want your children to learn about God and the Bible.

So we've created opportunities for your children to grow their faith at any age, from Pre-K through High School. A couple of ways Good Shepherd does this are:

Kids Connect is Good Shepherd's version of Sunday School. It's open to grades Pre-K through 6th Grade. Students learn about Bible through stories, song, art, activities, and fun. Kids Connect happens each Sunday at 10:10 am in Room 100 during the school year.

Faith Milestones are celebrations of important moments of faith in our lives. Examples of youth Faith Milestones are being baptized, becoming a confirmed member of the Lutheran Church, and graduating High School.

Youth Groups provide young folks friendship, opportunities to serve others, and time to explore their faith with their peers. Good Shepherd offers three different youth groups: Tweens (Grades 4 - 6), Confirmation (Grades 7-8), and Senior High (Grades 9-12).

You can learn about these and other youth and family programs by clicking the pictures below.

Kids Connect

Event date: 3/26/2023 10:10 AM - 11:00 AM Export event

Kids Connect is Good Shepherd's version of Sunday School. It's a 45-minute educational opportunity for children and youth that happens each Sunday at 10:10 am (between worship services).

Unlike a traditional Sunday School, Kids Connect begins with agathering time that includes students of all ages. They generally hear a story and talk about the theme of the day.

Kids will then break out into smaller age-specific groups to complete activities designed to help them learn and grow. Activities could be based in art, crafts, games, or music.

Tweens (Grades 4 - 6) also play an important role in Kids Connect by taking some leadership duties certain weeks of the month by leading skits or activities that help teach the Bible stories to the younger kids.

Kids Connect is lead by Jen Jarman, DIrector of Faith Formation at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, with assistance from volunteer adults & Senior High youth. Email Jen Jarman at jjarman@goodshepherd.com to register your child or find out how you can volunteer one Sunday.
