High School at Immanuel
Student Leaders (Grades 10-12)
Developing caring & listening skills to be a better friend!
Peer Ministry trained Student Leaders develop listening and caring skills to use with peers, at school, with their family, in the community and at church. They may also serve at Immanuel in a variety of ways:
Small Groups - Areas of Ministry: Participate in Confirmation small group leadership and discussion. Active involvement in Confirmation opening (meeting and greeting middle school students - not huddling in groups with other Peer Ministers). Participate in Confirmation opening, retreats, lock-ins, and events to develop relationships with students.
Holy Commotion - Areas of Ministry: Students in grades 10-12 with gifts of music and leadership form the leadership team of our youth worship band, Holy Commotion. These Student Leaders care for, support and mentor younger students and are attentive to the spiritual leadership of the group. They work closely with the adult leaders in the development of a strong and vibrant worship leadership team.
10th Grade Confirmation
Most students choose to write their faith statement in the fall, but some choose to write it over the summer. Whatever your child chooses to do please continue to pray with and for your child throughout this process. Sometimes this process can cause anxiety for a student and/or parent. We encourage you to invite the Holy Spirit into this process as a couple of “nicknames” for the Holy Spirit are, Guide and Counselor. God promises to walk with us in faith! If anxiety persists, I encourage you to reach out to me, Paul Erdmann or one of our pastors to talk this through. We are here for you!
