The Youth Ministry at Good Shepherd/El Buen Pastor Lutheran Church is a vital part of our Community Outreach Ministries, dedicated to nurturing the spiritual growth and Christian identity of our young members, ages 5 to 21. This ministry exists to develop and foster programs, gatherings, and faith formation opportunities that empower youth to claim their Christian heritage and live out their faith in daily life. Through worship participation, service projects, fellowship, and learning, the Youth Ministry helps young people explore God’s presence in their lives and the world. It operates in alignment with the congregation’s mission and the ELCA’s commitment to youth engagement, reporting regularly to the Congregational Council through a designated liaison.
