High School Youth

Breakfast Club

The Sunday morning Breakfast Club meets… on Sunday mornings! We meet during the Sunday School hour (9:15 AM) in the kitchen, feasting on wonderful snacks and goodies, reflecting on life and Jesus. All Middle School and High School youth welcome. Just come, munch, share and support one another!

Mission Trip

Each year Our Savior’s youth embark on a mission trip, or other “distance service and learning”opportunity. In 2013 we headed to North Carolina, 2014 to Puerto Rico, 2015 Atlanta and the National Youth Gathering in Detroit, and in 2016 to Minneapolis/St Paul. Fundraisers are held during the year to help defray the cost.

In 2019 the mission trip takes us to New Mexico. And 2020? Maybe New Orleans? Come and join the service, the learning, and the fun!

Scholarship Program

Scholarships are given out every year to graduating high school seniors. See program description for details!

Application for 2021 high school senior scholarships

A scholarship is also available for college freshman, as they move into their sophomore year. This scholarship particularly emphasizes ongoing connections with a community of faith during college years. See the program description for more information. This scholarship has been suspended for 2021 – current college freshman will be eligible for a “one-time” sophomore scholarship in 2022.

Program Description – college freshman

Scholarships are also available for non-traditional students through the Homer Moe Scholarship Fund. This fund generally supports second career, or continuing education learning, and may be awarded at any time during the year, depending on the education program and the need of the student. Contact the church office for more information on applying for a Homer Moe Scholarship.
