Youth
A place to belong, to be known, and to explore what we believe
Student Ministry
We all want a place to belong, to be known, and explore what we believe. Teens and preteens are no different. Our Student Ministry helps provide opportunities to build relationships and develop a faith that will carry beyond those teen years. Our Student Ministry is more than youth group. From fun get-togethers, to weekly youth group nights during the school year, to small group discussions, summer trips, and service opportunities… there are many ways you can grow in your faith and in connection to God and other teens as a part of this youth group community. Interested? Find more information by connecting with one of our Student Ministry pastors!
For more information about our middle school ministry, please email Kristin Mueller.
For more information about our high school ministry, please email Chuck Potts.
Youth Christmas Party
On Friday, December 20, all youth in grades 6-12 are invited to join us for a Christmas party from 6:30-8:30pm in the Life Center. Students will be able to rotate through different stations for desserts, games, crafts and more. We’ll end the evening with an exciting round of The Great Christmas Present Dice Game! This event is open to all, so bring a friend, wear those ugly sweaters and join us for a celebration of Christmas!
High School Summer Mission Trip
Pastor Chuck and the High School youth ministry are beginning the conversation for a High School mission trip for next summer,
2025. This mission trip will be different than the past few years, which means that students will need to get on-board and participate in all the prep work and fundraising for the trip early. For questions, please see Pastor Chuck.
Winter Camp
Middle School students in grades 6-8 are invited to join us for Winter Camp 2025 at Covenant Harbor! Our camp weekend this year is January 10-12, 2025. We'll meet at church around noon on Friday and travel by bus to Lake Geneva for a great weekend of friendship building and spiritual growth.
Register online today and pay a $50 deposit to Covenant Harbor to guarantee your spot! Choose the Winter Camp 2025 season, then Winter Camp for Jr & Sr High, January 10-12, 2025. Our church name is ECC Lafayette (as we hadn’t yet
changed names when we pre-registered). Continue all the way to the screen that's "Step 5: Review..." and hit the blue "Submit application" button to finish.
Our total cost for the weekend will be $195/student. When you register, you will pay $50 directly to Covenant Harbor. The remaining amount ($145) will be paid to The Grove Covenant Church directly and is due by Tuesday, January 7.
We do have scholarship funds available and are happy to use
them to help send kids to camp. Contact Pastor Kristin or Pastor Chuck if you would like more information on receiving a scholarship, or if you would like to make a donation to camp scholarships.
