Youth ICOA Service Recap
A group of youth and young adults served on Sunday morning at Immanuel Community Outreach Association (ICOA) in Kansas City, Kansas. We helped clean up around the property and divided up a large pasta donation. After serving and learning more about ICOA, their food pantry, and other ways they serve their community, we worshipped with them at their bilingual service.

Youth Family Minister
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12 ESV
Bible Studies, Discussion Time, Engaging Activities
Youth can participate in a myriad of events each month, from Sunday morning youth Sunday School in the youth room at each campus, to Sunday evening Youth Nights at family host locations. Youth meet new friends, strengthen old friendships and have time to talk about real-life issues in a setting with appropriate adult guidance of discussion topics.
Serving Others
Serving others is one of the hallmarks of faith life at Trinity, and youth are no exception. One of the greatest joys in youth ministry is to see the smiles of satisfaction as young adult realize the joy of serving others as the love of Christ flows through them. Service activities include providing childcare for parents’ night out events, serving an Easter breakfast, and setting up garage sales among other things. A servant event trip somewhere within the United States is in the planning stages, too!
Lutheran Valley Retreat
Nestled into the Pike National Forest, Lutheran Valley Retreat provides a year-round retreat and summer camp facilities for groups from around the country. When at LVR, youth are at a place where focus on God and building your relationship with Jesus Christ is without interruption. Youth are immersed in fun activities and Bible studies from dawn to dusk. Trinity’s youth attend LVR each summer.
LCMS Youth Gathering
“Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to learn more about Jesus Christ, the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity.
During the five days of the Gathering, youth spend time together in God’s word, worship, service, and fellowship with others from across the synod. This event is organized by LCMS Youth Ministry in Saint Louis, MO.
