We usually meet at First Lutheran but will sometimes travel to other places. We work with Grace Lutheran to complete Youth Group (and will periodically meet there).
Sunday Activities:
During the school year, we work with First
United Methodist and Westminster Presbyterian to provide
opportunities for faith and fellowship for our youth of all ages. Past
events have included: skating, a family fun night at the JBS field
house, games and food at HyVee (Encounter) and Outreach Nights
at Ingahm/Okoboji Lutheran Bible Camp (https://www.okoboji.org/outreach). Stay
tuned for plans for the 2023-2024 school year.

Each summer our youth are encouraged to attend an Adventure or Mission Trip. Adventure trips are camping type experiences for those completing 7th or 8th grade. Mission Trips are for those completing 8th-12th grades. We participate in the ELCA National Youth Gatherings when those are available. Fundraisers and scholarships are available.
