Jr. High Faith Builders at Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church
What is Faith Builders?
Faith Builders is our Junior High ministry program for 7th and 8th
graders. This program is designed to create opportunities for students
to ponder life's biggest questions, develop meaningful friendships,
discover the adventure of faith, and have some “serious” fun.
(Sometimes parents and other adults ask us if Faith Builders is like
“Confirmation Class,” to which we usually say, “It's so much more than
just that!”)
Weekly Workouts
We meet for weekly “Workouts” from 9:40 - 10:30 a.m. on Sundays
throughout the school year to study the key stories and teachings of
the Bible. Faith Builders quickly discover in our Workouts that the
Bible isn't just a “boring old book;” but a library full of stories and
poems and songs about very real people and a very amazing God. Download
the 2008-2009 Workout Schedule under the Forms Download section.
Weekend Adventures
The fun doesn't stop on Sunday mornings. Faith Builders “Weekend
Adventures” are a blast! Once each quarter during the school year (Fall
/ Winter / Spring) we gather for an overnight adventure designed to
help Faith Builders discover the amazing grace and goodness of God.
(The details of each Adventure are a secret. Part of the fun of these
events is the discovery of unexpected and eye-opening activities. But
we strive to make them friend-friendly and fun!)
Affirmation of Baptism
Students
who have faithfully participated in our Faith Builders Program are
invited to confirm their faith at the end of their 8th grade year in a
service called the “Affirmation of Baptism.”
If you'd like to enroll in our Faith Builders Program (or if your dog
ate your program packet), download some important assignments and
information you should have on hand.
