Christian Education
Education Committee
We take very seriously our ministry to the children that are brought to us. We offer classes to all children from pre-school (age 4) through junior high. Each year we present each of our third graders a Bible with their name engraved on it.
Vacation Bible School, a combined effort with First Presbyterian, Wessington Presbyterian, United Methodist, Trinity Lutheran, and St. Ann's Catholic Church, is offered in the early summer and is very well attended.
In addition to our Sunday School classes, we have two active youth groups; one for junior high students and one for high school students. The older group also raises funds throughout the year to finance a mission trip which they take each summer.
Other education efforts include adult education and confirmation class.

Youth Leaders and Youth Groups
The Junior Youth Group (Grades 6-8) holds monthly meetings September through May. For 2017-2018 the group is under the direction of Kevin Hofer and Sarah DeHaai.
The Senior Youth Group (Grades 9-12) holds bi-monthly meetings January through May. An annual Mission Trip is enjoyed by the group; in 2013 the group went to the Twin Cities in July for a 3-day mission trip. They worked very hard outside doing landscaping at a Crosby Family (General Mills) mansion. The mansion was being used as a residential facility for people with mental illness and addictions. It is run by People Incorporated, a group we've worked with for several years.
The senior youth group is responsible for decorating the tree in the sanctuary each year at Christmas time, and they host an Advent Fun Night for the congregation which is enjoyed by all.
A fund-raiser of cheese sales at the Farm and Home Show has been an annual success to help fund the senior youth group activities.
