  • Who does it serve or who is the intended audience
    FLAME serves all students in 9th-12th grade and their families.
  • Why should I be involved
    For Students:
    Being part of a faith community is crucial to faith development. The opportunities for faith discussion and exploration keeps our students connected to their faith while allowing them to make their own faith decisions.
    For Adults:
    Caring adults help foster good faith role models as well as provide someone students can confide in and get to know in their family of faith.
  • How to get involved
    For Students:
    Just show up! Youth Group is each Sunday night from 6-7:30pm in the Family Life Center.
    For Adults:
    Contact Amy for a brief interview and get to know you, and we can go from there.

    For more information, contact Amy Serflaten, Director of Youth Ministries. a.serflaten@sheridanlutheran.org or 402-423-4769, ext. 121
  • When & where it happens
    Youth Group happens weekly on Sundays at 6pm in the Family Life Center.
  • What can I expect
    Expect each week to be different. With the busy lifestyles of today’s teens, we like to keep things interesting. We have a time of informal chat/get to know you stuff followed by the program for the evening. We are an informal and loving group.
  • What makes this ministry unique special
    Our main goal of the ministry is to provide an outlet for students to feel safe in exploring their faith. We focus on relationships and encourage continued relationship building throughout the week in the student’s daily life, not just within the walls of the church.
