The following organizations at David Lutheran Evangelical Church provide opportunities for the youth of our congregation to learn and grow in Christ, enjoy Christian fellowship and to provide service to our church and community.

JAM (JESUS and ME) YOUTH GROUP

The JAM or "Jesus and Me" Youth Group, established in 1999, is for all children first grade through fourth grade.  The goal of the group is to develop and grow our youth's relationship with God.  The scheduled meeting time for this group is the first Sunday of each month.  Our youth have a wonderful time learning more about Jesus and learning new ways to serve the Lord.

GOD'S GANG

God’s Gang is a youth group is for all children fourth through sixth grade.  We meet on the second Sunday of each month.  Our group’s goal is to further develop the youth’s relationship with God as well as spread the Gospel to all those we are in contact with.  We alternate service projects with fun activities from month to month.  Each activity contains the following components:  devotion, fellowship, and food.

Our events include fall and spring clean-up at the church, bowling, making Christmas Cards and Valentine Cards for our homebound, delivering the Christmas Cards and some cookies while Christmas Caroling to our homebound, sharing devotions with the residents at Winchester Place, collecting can goods for the local food pantry, and enjoying a bike ride at Three Creeks.  With each event, we pray that each participant grows in their personal relationship with God and that they become more comfortable with sharing their faith with others around them.  We would like all fourth through sixth grade youth that are David Lutheran Church members, potential members, and visitors to join us for these activities.

JUNIOR LUTHERAN YOUTH ORGANIZATION (JLYO)

This year was once again an active year for the seventh and eighth graders.  Not only did we have wonderful instruction in Confirmation by Pastor Randy and the small group leaders, but we also fit in a service or play activity once a month.

Some of our events were making cookies, valentines, and pumpkin rolls for our homebound members.  We went caroling in December and ice skating in February with the congregation.  We made care packages for our college student members.  We also had a lock in which contained devotions, bowling, and homemade pizza.  We did a wonderful job in the spring with the church yard clean up.

LUTHERAN YOUTH ORGANIZATION (LYO)

LYO is the organization for students in 9th through 12th grades.  We have the potential for  members from several school districts, including Canal Winchester, Bloom-Carroll, Teays Valley, Pickerington, and Groveport-Madison.  Our goal is to structure our activities in such a way that we learn skills to spread the Gospel, learn to treat one another as Christ would have us, and to enjoy fellowship and service with our peers.  All are welcome, and our youth frequently bring friends from a variety of churches and communities.

We meet on the fourth Sunday at 4 p.m.  Our meetings are known as "Food, Fun and Fellowship".  We begin with food donated by one of our member's family.  Next, we play games for awhile, skits or group games.  Certain Sunday's we have a group lesson and Bible study.  We always end our time together in song and prayer.
