Zion Lutheran Church
Children and Youth
At Zion, we believe that faith starts at home and grows in community. We are committed to walking alongside families as children and teens learn to trust in Jesus, explore God’s Word, and grow in grace.
Whether you're new to church or have been worshiping for years, your family is welcome here!
Sunday Mornings for Children & Youth
Sunday School (Nursery–High School):
Following worship and fellowship time, we offer age-specific classes for all children and youth—from our littlest learners to high schoolers. Each class is designed to meet kids where they are, helping them understand the Bible, ask questions, and grow in faith through engaging, age-appropriate teaching.
Children’s Church (PreK–Grade 3):
During the sermon portion of the 9:00 AM worship service, younger children are invited to a special time of Bible teaching just for them—returning to the sanctuary before Prayers and Communion.
Cry Room & Nursery Space:
We love having little ones in worship! If you need a quiet space during the service, a cry room/nursery is available near our Sunday School classrooms where you can still follow along with the livestream service.
We know visiting a new church with children can feel overwhelming. That’s why our greeters and children’s ministry volunteers are happy to walk you to the right rooms, introduce you to other families, and make sure your children feel safe and welcome from the start.
Additional Opportunities for Children Under 18:
Kids for Christ (K.F.C.)
Pre-K through 6th Grade
Kids for Christ (K.F.C.) is more than a youth group—it’s a place where our youngest disciples learn to love like Jesus. Through hands-on service projects, fun fellowship events, and Bible-based learning, K.F.C. helps children grow in faith while actively living out God’s love.
From collecting donations for local charities to bowling nights and seasonal events, our kids are encouraged to serve, play, and grow together in a safe, joyful, and faith-filled environment.
K.F.C. meets periodically throughout the year during Christian Education hour on Sundays and for other special events.
L.I.G.H.T. Youth Group
Living In God’s Holy Truth – Grades 6 through 12
Zion’s youth group is a place where teens can be real, grow in their faith, and be encouraged to live as disciples in their everyday lives. Through regular gatherings, service opportunities, Bible study, and events throughout the year, our youth build strong relationships with God and each other.
Whether it’s helping with Grace Day, attending youth retreats, or simply spending time together in conversation and fellowship, our goal is to help students connect with Christ, with each other, and with the world around them in meaningful ways.
