May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Romans 15:13
​WE'RE MOVING FORWARD!
No one said that going through the daily grind of life was going to be easy. For some people it's easier to just keep doing the same thing over and over again because they refuse to change, they're lazy, stuck in their own way of doing things, or simply because it's easier to sit back and do nothing.
​
As a ministry that is moving Forward we want you to know that you are a very important individual and are a part of God's plan to TRULY BE the generation that will change the world! Forward is a ministry that thrives to be a home for all youth where everyone feels welcome and cared for!
No Matter who you are or where you come from we want you to know that the doors are always open to you and we look forward to seeing you at Youth Group soon!
Thank you for visiting our website and if you have any questions or would like more information about Forward Youth Ministry,
please contact Joe Filener.

Youth Gatherings
Junior High Students have the opportunity to attend weekend Gatherings hosted by the Southwest Minnesota ELCA Synod.
This event includes a time of worship, fellowship, discussion, games, and more.
Every three years Senior High Students attend the National ELCA Youth Gathering. The Gathering includes talks by national speakers, games, worship, and service opportunities in the local community. ​​
