At Silverdale Lutheran we offer a dynamic Children and Youth Program.
We are thrilled to welcome everyone back for another school year of programming! The safety and welfare of all youth in our care is top priority.
Church Nursery is available for children ages birth-five and is open during both Worship services, Sunday school and most ministry events.
Sunday School is offered from Labor Day-Memorial Day following the CK School District Schedule. We offer kids, middle and high school classes that meet from 9:45-10:45am between services. Our middle and high school classes may occasionally venture off campus for various experiences.
Kids Word for children pre-k through 3rd grade meets after the children's sermon at the 11am Worship Service. Kids venture down to the Gathering Place to hear the Gospel in a kid friendly way. Our high school youth help lead this ministry. Children return to the Sanctuary for Holy Communion.
SLC Littles is a regular intentional playdate for our children ages 2-6. Most events require an RSVP, but we make sure they are unique and special just like the kiddos who attend!
SLC Kids is our youth group for kids in 1st-5th grade that meets monthly on the third Friday for their own fun, games and faith formation.
The Middle is a weekly youth night for students 6th-8th grade. We meet in the middle of the week on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8pm in the Gathering Place.
SLY is our high school youth group that meets from 7-8:30pm on Sunday nights in the Gathering Place. This group often has additional opportunities to hang out and grow in their faith. Some of these experiences include acts of service, backpacking, retreats, and fun!
Confirmation is offered for students who are at least 9th grade and not yet confirmed. This is a very important milestone for our youth that takes them on a journey exploring their faith, serving others and walking alongside mentors.
Bible Class is typically offered annually for anyone 3rd grade and above who has yet to receive a Bible. We dive into God's Word in a unique and exciting way. We hope to branch out and offer some younger youth Bible studies to keep those pages turning.
First Communion is typically offered during the season of Lent. If you feel your child is ready for this milestone, they are welcome to participate. We celebrate annually at our Maundy Thursday Service with bread prepared by first communion students.
Acolytes have a front row seat to Worship! This ministry is reserved for 5th-8th grade. We encourage our Middle School aged families to actively participate in one of our Worship services by assisting our liturgists and pastors with various tasks. You must be trained to serve at this capacity. This is a prerequisite for Confirmation helping our youth form a deeper understanding of our traditions and sacraments.
