Receive.Believe.Respond.

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Ephesians 4:32, 5:1-2

Focus

Youth Ministry at Mount Olive Lutheran Church focuses on ministry to and through young people beginning in 6th grade and continuing through post high. We are committed to creating and maintaining an environment for spiritual growth.

Programs

To best serve the young people of our congregation, our Youth Ministry is organized into three age-focused programs:

Wednesday Evening CHAOS

Each Wednesday evening between Labor Day and Memorial Day, the LYF meets in the Youth Room for Christians Hyped About Our Savior (CHAOS). We share a meal in the fellowship hall with the midweek LOGOS children and staff, and afterward enjoy a time of fellowship, Bible study, schoolwork, and discussion. The Wednesday CHAOS time provides a relaxed environment for the youth to connect their lives and continue in their faith.

Sunday Morning Education Hour

Each Sunday between Labor Day and Memorial Day, the LYF meets in the Youth Room for education hour. This is a time of fellowship, Bible study, prayer, and discussion. The Sunday morning education time provides a relaxed environment for the youth to better connect their lives and go deeper in their faith.

Summer Trips

Since 1999, LYF has gone on summer trips to either LCMS National Youth Gatherings or mission trips. Some of the past trips have been to the following cities:

These summer trips continue to be a favorite event for the youth. The trips provide a full week for the youth to grow in fellowship with one another and to strengthen and maintain their relationship with God. Pictures of some past trips are shown below.
