Children, Youth & Families | St. Philip's Lutheran Church

St. Philip’s Children, Youth, and Family Ministries encourages families to grow in their faith through life milestones, lessons, and service based activities as they develop and nurture their love for Jesus. Children come together to hear and experience God through story, music, play, prayer, acts of service, and other activities.

The program year begins on Sunday, September 11, 2022! Classes for all ages run from 9:20 am to 10:20 am.

Scholarships are available for all activities and events. Please talk to Connie Yerigan if scholarships are needed. No one will be excluded from any opportunity due to financial reasons.

There are three major milestones in a child’s faith journey.

Mission Trips are a wonderful way for our youth to connect, travel, worship, grow in their faith, and serve others.

In the months leading up to the Mission Trip, youth are encouraged to volunteer with various fundraising activities and events. This is a wonderful way for the youth to bond before the trip. Money raised goes towards their Mission Trip fees.
