Youth Ministries
“How do we keep the youth of our congregation engaged, educated, empowered and committed to living out their faith? We do it through intergenerational support, mentoring, and providing impactful options for service, participation and spiritual growth. We do it by making each one of our young people feel valued and important. We do it by creating a family for them that is grounded in Christ’s compassion and grace!” — Dori Rossmann, LCR Director of Youth Ministry (retired)
