High School Ministry at Good Shepherd
High School Ministry is deeply relational. Together we explore big questions about what it means to be a person of faith in an ever-changing world. We understand that holiness is experienced both in still quiet moments and large community experiences. Through conversations, stories, activities, and adventures, we ponder faith in our daily lives and in a global context. God is big, Jesus is Truth, the Spirit is moving. Come as you are, you are welcome here.

Good Shepherd High School Internships
Thanks to the generosity of the Good Shepherd Foundation we are once again looking to hire 5-6 high school interns to work in Children, Youth, and Family Programming.
Responsibilities include the planning and implanting of camps and fun nights for GS youth and participating in other GS summer activities. You can expect to learn how to work on a team and interact with younger kids as well as how different ministries in the church work. You will also be guided into conversation about service, discernment, and vocation. Interns work around 15 – 20 hours and in addition to their pay each intern receives. $500.00 towards a youth trip or Pine Lake. Interviews will begin later in February. If you are interested, ask Sarah or Joanne for an application - siverson@gslcwi.com or jzastrow@gslcwi.com

Registration isopen for Pine Lake summer camp near. Good Shepherd week will be July 13-18. The goodness in this opportunity is to be at camp with youth of all ages from Good Shepherd.
If Pine Lake isn’t your jam or is too familiar, talk to Sarah about other camping opportunities. The experience of camp is available in many flavors and locations. Every GS youth gets $50.00 towards a week of camp.
Youth Group Gatherings
Join us every 1st and 3rd Sunday at 7:00 at our Verona Campus. Different activities and conversations each week. All are welcome at this community practice project.
This gathering pairs well with our 6:00pm worship service. A Holy pause followed with some fun fellowship is a great way to start your week.
Before School Breakfasts
Once school gets started Sarah will set dates to have breakfast with students at different schools, either at a nearby park or restaurant.
A chance to share what's coming up for you, enjoy some breakfast, and maybe see who else goes to both your school and your church. Friends welcome. Check back for dates!
