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.
