In the Bible, Moses told the children of Israel to teach their children God's Words.
"These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up" (Deuteronomy 6:7-).
We at Divine Savior take that seriously. We offer Sunday school classes from September through May for nursery through middle school. Middle school students (7th-8th grade) receive formal, pastor-led spiritual training through our confirmation program. And our middle school and high school students meet regularly for social and growth opportunities.

Children will be taught God's Word and the love Jesus has for us! Please register your kindergarten through grade 8 children at the link above. Questions? Contact [email protected].
Confirmation
Confirmation is a time of formal, pastor-led instruction for our middle school members. Our confirmands become more familiar with our faith, ask questions about it, and especially make it their own. At Divine Savior, instruction centers around Martin Luther's Small Catechism for our 7th and 8th grade students.
We deliver confirmation instruction in a retreat format. This year's retreats are Friday and Saturday, October 3-4, 2025; December 5-6, 2025; and January 30-31, 2026. Students engage the material at home with some pre-retreat work, receive instruction from our pastor at the retreats, then meet with their parents and our pastors after the retreat.
The Rite of Confirmation is usually celebrated on Palm Sunday.
High School Bible Study
This year, we will have a Bible study for high school youth on Sunday mornings, 9:30-10:15 am, in the youth room. Through the fall, Pastor Stowe will lead us through a study on The Bible's Light on Contemporary Topics. In the winter, Andrew Stowe will lead a conversation on defending your faith, and the Oelsners will offer some instruction on dealing with conflict in a Biblical, healthy way.
Youth Nights
Our youth (5th grade to 12th grade) usually meet on the second Sundays of the month for some kind of activity. This year's projected calendar includes a trip to Shalom Wildlife Zoo (September 14), an outing to fall farm and corn maze (October 12), bowling (November 9), a Christmas party (December 14), snowtubing (or roller skating, if the weather doesn't cooperate–January 11), an escape room (February 8), and a jaunt to The Kettle (April 12). In March, we'll meet for an overnight lock-in on March 13. Our May outing will be our annual mini-golf showdown on the third Sunday, May 17,
National Youth Gathering
Every three years, Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod high school youth from around the country gather for a week of worship, study, service, and fun. In 2025, our youth are Gathering in New Orleans under the theme, "Endure."
