St. John’s has an active and growing youth ministry program for all ages. Every month our students have opportunities to gather for fellowship and service. We hold events and outings including trips to the trampoline park, bowling alley, Fun Fore All Family Park, and mini-golf course. There are parties for various holidays, such as a costume party for Halloween – complete with games and prizes! The youth also participate in service opportunities such as providing a meal for the Pleasant Valley Homeless Shelter. Our youth also has the opportunity to participate in A Visit to Bethlehem, held in December on alternate years.
We also have events especially for teenagers. We have a monthly Teen Game Night, which meets on the first Saturday of every month (September thru May). The Senior High youth also participate in fundraising activities to support their annual trips. Every third year they attend the ELCA Youth Gathering, with the alternating years taking them on a work camp trip to help others in need.
With all our youth events, we encourage students to invite their friends. All are welcome!
