High School Youth Ministry
9th - 12th Grade
Mentorship (9th grade)
The final year of St. Mark’s confirmation program seeks to connect students with activities around learning, relationship building, faith exploration, and fellowship. These activities build on the basics they learned during their 6-8grade years.
T.I.M. (Teens in Ministry) Team
(11th & 12th grade)
TIM Team members commit to and are trained to be peer ministers in the youth ministry program. TIM Team members experience a weeklong training at Lake Wapogasset Lutheran Bible Camp for team building, planning and develping leadership skills during the summer.
High School Bible Study
Gather in the chapel on Wednesday nights from 7:30 - 8:30 pm to take a look at God’s word and to explore how we can be a part of what God is doing in our world. The goal is to create a place where senior high students encounter God, grow in their faith through Christ-centered relationships and experiences. Whether your faith is already a vital part of your life, or you've never given spiritual truth much thought, there's a place for you at this Bible study.
Mission Trips
St. Mark’s believes strongly that mission work not only helps others, but gives back to the youth and adults involved through faith development, the chance to build new relationships, and the commitment to serve the church, community and world. Recent trips include experiences in rural and innercity environments around the country along with international opprotunities in Iringa, Tanzania and India. This summer, the youth will experience adventures different from other years. They will be heading to the exciting community of.....stay tuned!
Boundary Waters Canoe Trips
Canoe trips are planned every other year (during the summer opposite mission trips) with Wilderness Canoe Base in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. This experience allows youth to learn and experience God's creation in a completely new way.
Colla Voce Choir (6th – 12th grade)
All God's creatures have a place in the choir - that means you! If you are in 6th-12th grade, your place is in the Colla Voce Choir. No previous experience is necessary. We meet from 4:45-5:45 on Wednesdays. We provide special music for the 10:15 services usually twice a month. We also have been helping with leading the singing for Wednesday worship. Don't miss out on being a part of this important ministry opportunity! For more information, check out music ministry.
Fun and Fellowship
Throughout the year, fun events give us the opportunity to develop relationships with one another. Some past events include: bonfires, snowtubing, lock-ins, movie nights, pajama parties, etc.
High School Youth Group
This opportunity, on Wednesday nights following worship (6:30-7:30) will engage high school youth through fun games, encouraging conversation, and service projects (both inside and outside the walls) as we explore who God created us to be and how our gifts can impact and change the world.
