United Lutheran Church - One in Christ Jesus

The purpose of our ministry is to develop programs for youth and families and promote participation of youth and families in the activities of the congregation.

Our ministry sponsors youth and family oriented events like rally Sunday and un-rally Sunday, the fall hayride, participation in the synod youth gatherings and ELCA Youth Gatherings, the ski trip, ice skating parties, youth fun nights, senior high youth group, mission trips, youth ministry fundraisers, the chili cook-off, our annual rummage sale and much more. We would love for you to join us! See below for events and opportunities.

The date for our ELCA Youth Gathering is July 18-22! Why New Orleans? Because New Orleans has more to teach us about fresh starts made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. New Orleans has more to teach us about generosity and about how to be good neighbors. New Orleans has more to teach us about the house that God is building.Go to www.elca.org/gathering and become part of the movement, ELCA for NOLA! 21 youth from United will be preparing for this trip of a lifetime! Please support them with your prayers and encouragement as they get ready for this journey!
