Youth

Youth ministry in south carolina is being updated.

SPRING INTO ACTION

Hand in Hand & Spring into Action are our two service camps that give us the chance to worship God by serving others together. This worship through service can look like yard work, light housekeeping, cleaning up natural areas or roadsides, organizing food pantries or nonprofit thrift stores, working with horse therapy, or whatever is needed where we are! We spend a lot of time in the community, so we need 1 adult for every 5-6 youth to provide transportation to the sites.

WHEN: May 10-12, 2024

Plan to arrive between 7 and 8 pm on Friday night. Pickup on Sunday will be 11am.

WHERE: Camp Kinard, 6053 Two Notch Road, Batesburg-Leesville, SC 29070

WHO? For grades 8-12 Please send 1 Adult per 5-6 youth, contact Joel at sclutheranyouth@gmail.com if this is a concern.WHAT IS THE COST? $95 per registrant, both adult and youth. You’ll receive a payment voucher after you submit your registration. Please include this with your payment. If your congregation pays your fee, please forward this form to them.

Our Call as the Church of TODAY…

We are called, young and old, to be the Body of Christ together. In baptism we receive God’s Spirit, through which we are empowered to answer that call. Together we can do so much more than we can individually. Together, let us share God’s love with all the world! Together we can make a difference!

The purpose of the South Carolina Synod Lutheran Church Youth organization is to be a community in Christ…Rooted in God’s love…Hearing God’s voice…Acting as God’s hands.

To be an adult volunteer for these events, please contact Rev. Emily Hartmann by e-mail emily@scsynod.com.. Also, you will need to download and complete the background check release form.

Additional Resources

The South Carolina Synod is committed to ensuring that we provide safe places of worship and fellowship to everyone we serve. As part of that commitment we are providing information on Safe Gatherings as a resource for you in this important area.

Safe Gatherings is an online abuse prevention program that screens and educates staff and volunteers to help prevent abuse of children, youth, and vulnerable adults in group settings. When employees and volunteers are trained to identify potential abusers, recognize the signs of abuse, and know how to handle reporting, they are better equipped to prevent abuse.

LCY Resolution Against Racial Injustice

In the name of Jesus Christ, the Resolution Against Racial Injustice was passed by the Voting Members of the 2015 Annual Convention of the Lutheran Church Youth of the South Carolina Synod, ELCA this 20th day of June by unanimous decision.
