Middle & High School Youth

Summer camps and mission trips are life-changing experiences for our young disciples. They provide opportunities for youth to explore their faith and make a difference in the lives of others by serving in the name of Jesus.

Upcoming Youth
Mission Trips

Central Lutheran Church is leading a youth mission trip to Rapid City, South Dakota through Youthworks! We will depart from Central Lutheran Church on June 14 and return on the evening of June 19. This trip will be led by Pastor Michael Short, Youth Director John Bartholow, and a parent volunteer. Possible activities include  working with Black Hills Works, a progressive and adaptive center for mentally and physically challenged adults.  We may also work at a food shelf, clothing distribution center, soup kitchen, children’s program, or elder care facility. We will also visit Mount Rushmore. Update: The Mission Trip was canceled due to the concerns and risks regarding COVID-19.
