7-9th Grade
Blank Sermon Notes
HERE WE STAND! is the catechism program from students in grades seven through nine. It derives it's name Martin Luther's answer to the Diet at Worms about his profession of faith. Luther famously said, "Here I stand, I can do no other. God help me. Amen."

This program meets every other Wednesday beginning in September through May from 7:15-8:30 P.M. The 1/2 year course for the 7th grade students at Trinity will begin in January.

The students explore Lutheran Christian faith and discipleship in large and small groups, service projects, and team-building opportunities. Learning is expressed using small group ministry, multimedia presentations, and experiential vignettes. This also includes all those places where youth serve in the congregation in worship and learning, in witnessing and caring.

HERE WE GO...is a Sunday night ministry of fun and fellowship for 7-9th grade students. This group meets 1st & 3rd Sundays of Month 4:30-6:00 P.M. in the WELL. While it's name comes from the catechism program, it is not necessary to be in Here We Stand to attend.

Learning about being Lutheran isn't enough; we must take that next step. Through fellowship, games, and service, we work to apply our Bible studies to life today...learning, growing, and encountering issues and events at school, in the community, and around the world.


C.H.A.O.S. (Christ Honoring And Others Serving)
5-6th grade Focuses on honoring Christ and serving others. We meet the 2nd and 4th Sunday each month from 4:30-6:00 p.m. and one other time during the month. A typical Sunday night will consist of food, fellowship, and faith-building. Friends are always welcome!
