Youth and Family

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 2022 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.

 

 

Middle School Youth

OSAP- Our Savior’s After School Program

After school all middle school students are invited to the church on the night they have confirmation class. They can hang out at church to play video games, ping pong, do homework or just hang out! FREE DINNER available every week at 5:30. Different activity every week to participate in! Note that there is no After School on early release Wednesdays, or snow days.  To see our expectations of participants, check out the OSAP Covenant.

    Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is; his good, pleasing and perfect will.
