Youth and Family ministries are a vital part of West Middleton Lutheran Church. We offer ministry opportunities for all ages.
Our High School Youth participate in service, fellowship and worship
throughout the year. Our focus for 2011 is a Year of Service.
Each month we will go to a service site to work and learn as we live out
our faith in the community.
The High School Youth will be attending the 2012 ELCA National Youth
Gathering in New Orleans.
For more information about opportunities for all ages, please check out
the education page. Our learning is
combined with service and fellowship to form a well rounded ministry.
Supporting families of all ages both in their congregational life and at home is a high priority. Our vision as we move forward is to "Bring our Faith Home". We strive not only for our worship services be family friendly but to have opportunities for families to come together in fellowship and service and learning how to live out their faith beyond the church walls. Information about coming events for your family can be found on the Events page.
We are very thankful that the Ruth Circle has a scholarship fund to help
youth on their faith journey. There are funds set aside from the Women of the Church for youth
ministries. This fund will be replenished yearly so that it can be used by many members to enrich their faith. The scholarship will help youth go to camps, retreats, youth leadership school, and mission trips, all of which are vital to the faith growth in the lives of our youth at WMLC, as statistics show.
This scholarship does not take the place of the fundraisers that happen throughout the year to offset the costs of the mission trips. This is for all ages of youth who are participating in the great ministries that are offered. This will be to encourage youth to take part in all ministry opportunities as they grow in their faith.
How do you apply? Fill out the form and turn it in by the due date. You can only receive one Ruth Circle Scholarship per year. This is to offset some of the costs that are associated with ministries that take place outside of our church.
