SWLYG | Southwood Lutheran Church

Southwood Lutheran Youth Group

So, what does high school ministry look like?

The SWLYG (Southwood Lutheran Youth Group) gathers on Wednesday evenings from 7:15-8:30PM. This community exists to provide opportunities to deepen faith, develop meaningful relationships, and serve others. We often gather by having dinner together, engaging in spiritual practices. having student- led small groups and playing large group games. No week is the same, but it always feels comfortable and familiar.

Not just this, but summer mission trips, retreats, mentorship opportunities, and leadership development help make up our ministry. In all of it a community forms that brings our youth to a deepening level of love for God and others.

Youth Group

This year, the Southwood Lutheran Youth Group is making some exciting changes. We are thrilled to announce that our youth group will now meet on Wednesday nights from 7:15 to 8:30 PM in the Youth Room downstairs. In addition to our regular meetings, we will be introducing new opportunities for our youth to engage with the church and the community.

Service & Care Team

This year, Southwood Lutheran Youth is introducing a Youth Care Team with the help of our Care Director, Amy Hansen. High school students are welcome to join the Youth Care Team, which will convene once a month to work together on care projects and events within the church and the local community. This offers a great chance for young individuals to build connections and develop personal insights through meaningful involvement in care ministry.
