Youth Ministry
"NextGen" is First Lutheran’s ministry to middle and high school youth (6th - 12th grade). It is a Christ centered ministry devoted to connecting students and their families to Christ, the church, and the community. We plan and encourage ministry events that nurture these relationships, setting a foundation of faith as young adults. NextGen meets monthly for movie nights, casual parties, games nights, and service projects. (A current medical consent and release form must be filled out in order for youth to participate in off campus events.)
Remember, "it's not as much fun, without YOU!"
