Connect Nights | Grades 5-8
This is where ministry, friendships & fun collide. Bring your energy, bibles & get ready for lots of laughs.
Friday (twice per month) 6-7:30pm | Grades 5-8
Confirmation | Grades 7+
Confirmation at KOG is open to all students grades 7+ who want to be confirmed in their faith.
This 2-year program is a fun and interactive way to build students’ faith and friendships. We explore different aspects of the Lutheran faith and how they can apply it to their lives today. Students are asked to participate in community service outside of the church as well as with the group when those opportunities are available. Students that are confirmed, affirm their baptism and are ready to be active members of the church who serve in many different capacities.
Challenge | Grades 7+
Youth-focused ministry and bible study for youth grades 7+.
Challenge goes above and beyond what youth learn on Sunday mornings. Here youth will not only discover truth in the Bible, but they will participate in fun activities that will help them develop skills that empower them to continue learning, growing, and sharing.
Current Bible Study: Book of James
Parents & Adults are invited to meet at the same time for an adult bible study on campus. Adults will follow the same bible study plan, allowing for youth and adults to discuss the study together throughout the week and grow in understanding and faith together. Email jessicar@kogaz.org for more details.
Youth Nights | Grades 7+
