All Youth
Join us for Middle School & High School Youth ministries at the Valley Creek and Oak Hill Campuses.
All 6th-12th graders are welcome to join in whichever format fits the best, over zoom or on campus.
WLCyouth Wednesday night Ministries meets from 6:30-8pm. Students are welcome to start arriving online and on campus at 6:15pm.
We find significant value in consistent small group experiences. (This is why we are asking for you to choose your primary environment where you'll be most consistently--online or on campus.) We also know that with circumstances surrounding this school year that there may be a need to be flexible and filled with grace when it comes to illness, comfort levels, and other needs. No matter what, we're committed to spending time in God's Word, praying together, and investing in relationships in whatever ways we can!
For those who choose ON CAMPUS as their primary environment: We will comply with government recommendations for masks when we meet inside. We will aim to be outside as much as we are able. In both outside and inside settings we will be practicing physical distancing and limiting the use of shared items.
Thanks for REGISTERING and for all the ways you keep loving each other well and growing as Disciples of Jesus!
We are pumped to be back together again! WLCyouth ministry Staff, Sarah, Laura, Patrick and Lindsey

Confirmation Journey
Confirmation is a personal faith process for students who are currently in 7th-12th grades, who would like to dive deeper into understanding what they believe and why. Confirmation at Woodbury Lutheran has been designed to be a personal experience that is driven by a student's desire to grow in their understanding of their baptismal faith. At the end of this journey, students publicly confirm and claim their identity as a disciple of Jesus.
