Middle School Ministry
We understand the value of being together in a faith community apart from the classroom. Middle School Ministry opportunities are available to any middle school student (6th-8th grade) even if you are not involved in the catechism track. They include fun outings, service opportunities, a January retreat to Lutheran Memorial Camp and J.A.M. Sunday School Classes (Sundays at 9am during the school year). Middle School Ministry events are a great opportunity to invite a friend to experience what we do and who we are as a faith community!

Catechism
We embrace the middle school years as an opportunity for intentional conversation and learning about what it means to be a follower of Jesus, moving the student to make a consciously chosen public affirmation of their desire to continue to follow Jesus- what we call Affirmation of Faith, in the spring of 8th Grade.
7th/8th Grade Catechism: Sundays 12-2pm, September through May
Our 7th/8th Grade Catechism Track comprises six courses, which students are required to complete over the 7th-8th grade two-year period. The courses (currently online) are taught by Pastors Doug and Tony, and are designed to provide some core Lutheran teachings while also identifying other topics and conversations important to the faith development of middle school students.

High School Ministry
High School Ministry values the upward (God), outward (neighbor), and inward (self) nurturing of high school students. Upward faith formation and understanding of who we are as God’s beloved, outward relationship-building and service to others, and inward growth as valued and gifted individuals.
High School Ministry opportunities vary from month to month, and will include learning, study, fellowship, and service. We celebrate the ways in which Peace can connect and engage students in faith during an exciting, busy, and imperative time in life. Friends are always welcomed as we journey together!
