Bringing your Family to Sheridan

Sheridan's Ministry for Children, Youth and Families is Living God's promises as the family of God to equip all to walk as disciples of Christ. Opportunities abound for families to engage in God’s story in very hands-on ways. Wednesdays @ the Well offers a worship service that is family-friendly. The classes offered following the service reach the ages of toddlers to adults. Sunday mornings offer education classes for Preschool – 5th grade. Confirmation (6th-8th grade) meets on Wednesday nights during the school year. Sr. High Youth group meets on Sunday nights. Faith Stepping Stone Workshops are offered for each age group each year (Bible Presentation, Baptism, First Communion, etc.). Fellowship events, service projects to the greater community and mission trips are offered at special times. All of these offerings are a way to learn about God’s promises as a family. For the small children in your family, a fully staffed nursery and quiet room are available for your convenience.

Middle School and High School youth can use their gifts for worship on Wednesday nights by singing on a Praise Team or playing in the Praise Band.

Youth Ministry

Sheridan Lutheran Youth focuses on building a caring community of teenagers who love God and love each other. We provide various large group and small group activities designed to deepen and challenge faith and to create fellowship within the Body of Christ. However, the strength of our ministry lies in the personal relationships that exist between youth and leaders. A committed group of volunteer leaders seeks to be actively involved in the lives of every youth, and all activities are designed with the intent to strengthen these relationships. We hope that through the community, faith will grow and youth and their leaders will fall more in love with Jesus Christ.
