Children & Youth
FLY
Faith Lutheran Youth (FLY) is for 6th-12th grade youth. We meet several times a month for Bible study, games, service projects, movies, food and fun! FLY also goes ice skating, to amusement parks in Ohio, holds Lock-ins, go to the movies and other special events throughout the year.
The Middle School youth also have Confirmation Classes every week during the academic year and a winter retreat in February with other local churches.
Every three years, the senior high youth participate in the ELCA National Youth Gathering. The group is looking forward to New Orleans again in 2012! The Sr. High also engages in a Sr. High service trip on the summers when a Youth Gathering is not held. Visit the ELCA website to learn more.
