High School Youth

About

Wednesday Evening Youth Nights run throughout the school year from 7:30 - 8:45 and include fellowship, games, music, guest speakers, biblical devotions, and scheduled outings. Monthly activities are another way for youth to come together to build relationships and to have fun.

The High School Youth can particiapte in Cluster, Synod, Regional, and National events that include Portland Plunge, Holden May Youth Weekends, Western States Youth Gatherings, and the National Youth Gathering.

If outreach ministry interests you, consider canned food drives, volunteering at the NE Emergency Food Program, 30-hour Famine, and the Cluster Portland Plunge.

Volunteers are always needed for this ministry. it's fun, and the rewards are greater than words can describe. Help chaperone, drive to activities, mentor, help with youth nights and confirmation, or help organize a fund-raiser. All make Creator's youth ministry a success.
