Youth Ministry

As a member of the Sierra Pacific Synod we at LCI whole heartedly support the ministry opportunities put on by this group of students and young adults. We participate in three retreats each year. The elementary retreat, for 3rd through 6th graders, and junior high retreat, for 7th and 8th graders, takes place in the fall with the high school retreat taking place in the spring.

This is a fantastic way to learn about God’s love and have fun with multiple other Lutheran congregations throughout Northern California.

Junior High

Our 7th and 8th graders also meet Sunday morning from 9:30 to 10:15. This is a time to have fun, work on some light bible study and hang out with friends. Because most of our junior high students are participating the confirmation program on Sunday evening Sunday mornings offer a lighter load for these already busy group of youth.

We also meet a few times throughout the year to have some fun off campus so please see our monthly calendar to view events.

High School

Our high School group at LCI has a passion for serving while growing in faith. We meet on Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 10:15 for purposeful study. This year we will be doing three focused studies on every day temptations that teens battle, and how to answer that bigger calling we hear at times in our lives.

We also focus on serving our community by participating in Davis Community Meals, the Winter Rotating Shelter and in the greater church through Lutheran World Relief’s Act 2 Day 4 Tomorrow, raising awareness about our world’s hunger problems.

We also love to have fun together. We have monthly events that range from haunted adventures in October to mini golf in the Spring.

A Youth Lord's Prayer

The following prayer was created by the youth of LCI. They sought to capture the essence of the "Lord's Prayer" in words that speak to youth in our place and time.

‘S up Padre? Good job!
You are da Man!
Please give me the stuff
I need to live!
Forgive me for my sins, Dude!
I am so sorry for my actions,…Dude.
Please save us from our problems
in the pit, man!
Keep us from the devil, Man!
The world, the wisdom, and the
strength belong to you!
Past, present and future.
Let it be!

PARENTAL INFORMATION

Above all else, we hope to create a quality youth ministry program that consists of a safe and nurturing environment for your children. This web page is also meant to be used by parents to see just what their children are doing at youth group events.

Forms:

In order for your child to participate in any sort of overnight event or camp, you or a guardian must sign a liability waiver and form of consent. Below are the links to download all forms. Occasionally, there will be other forms posted with more information for students and parents alike (for example, camping lists or schedules of events).

LCI will not post any photos of your child on this website until we are given legal permission by you. We want the youth at LCI to be able to view and download photos from youth group events, and therefore require that all parents must sign a Photo Release Waiver.
