Welcome
We believe in discipling youth by walking beside them in all aspects
of their lives. Retreats and missions are avenues to grow in knowledge,
sharing real life experiences of God at work in and through others.
Monthly fellowship events add fun and excitement to our lives together
and provide youth with opportunities to celebrate the life that God has
given us. Through weekly study we grow spiritually and intellectually.
Ultimately, the youth program at GLC is a place for youth to
experience God through many different avenues of events and
relationships. Join us and bring a friend!

Youth Summer Fun!
Summer Camp at Lake Crescent - August 11th - 16th, 2024.
Summer Camp
Meet our Youth Summer Intern... Jamie!
Jamie grew up going to Grace and was a leader in our youth program. He currently attends Pacific Lutheran University! Fun fact: once Jamie drank 4 root beer floats in one sitting at Red Robins. His favorite Bible verse is Psalms 34:18 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." We are so thrilled to have you on the team this summer Jamie, thank you for being our intern! We can't wait to see what fun you have in store for our youth during Crazy Wednesdays, Vacation Bible School, and during our weeklong summer camp this August!
Summer Mission Team (SMT)
The Youth Program at Grace has a long-standing commitment to summer
missions, with opportunities to serve in Mexico through the SMT. The program is a
year-long commitment that involves working, playing and studying with
your fellow mission team members. Our next scheduled trip will be in June 2024.
Retreats
Our Youth Program includes a variety of retreat experiences for kids
ages 7th-12th grades. Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer…. we make the most of
the wonderful outdoors here in the northwest for our retreat weekends!
Some of the retreat sites we visit regularly include Black Lake, Lake
Kachess and Camp Lutherhaven. With opportunities to study, worship, and
play on retreats, all youth have the chance to grow in their own faith
and fellowship with one another.
Fellowship
Watch the Youth Calendar in the Messenger and on this website for monthly activities for all junior and
senior high kids! From bus lock-ins to movie nights, there are always
opportunities for youth to gather together and share in the fun. These
monthly events are a great time to bring a friend — they are always
welcome.
