As   your   child   grows,   we   want   to   GROW   with   you! Experience       opportunities       that       nurture       the connection   between   faith,   family,   friends,   and   daily life.   From   connecting   with   each   other   at   lock-ins and    family    retreats,    to    events    such    as    caroling during    Advent    or    family    mission    trips,    or    high schoolers    connecting    for    weekly    Wednesday    night Recharge,   you’ll   find   a   variety   of   opportunities   for families with kids of all ages.

Marcia Pedersen Children, Youth & Families Director

At   OSLC,   we   value   learners   of   ALL   ages.   Beginning   at baptism,   we   equip   parents   to   be   their   child’s   first   faith teacher    through    the    Splash!    program.    Children    are invited   to   begin   attending   Sunday   School   as   preschoolers. We   continue   supporting   families   growing   in   faith   with annual    Faith    Milestone    events.    Youth    in    8th    and    9th grade   learn   more   about   faith   as   they   journey   through Confirmation.    Learners    of    all    ages    are    invited    to participate   in   learning   opportunities   like   our   Women’s Retreat,   Church   Retreat,   special   forums,   and   an   array   of Bible study opportunities.

We    are    committed    to    equipping    God’s    people through   hands-on   opportunities   to   serve   neighbors in   need   in   Austin,   in   Minnesota,   and   around   the world.        Mission    opportunities    range    from    a    few hours   to   day   trips   to   week   long   mission   trips   for youth   and   adults,   as   Our   Savior’s   supports   God’s work in many places.

Feeling   connected   to   God   is   important   but   we also    need    human    connections.        Whether    doing yoga   together   or   getting   acquainted   over   a   cup   of coffee,   we   know   how   important   it   is   for   people of    all    ages    to    find    ways    to    connect    with    one another.
