At Messiah, we have an intergenerational congregational approach to youth, young adult, and family ministry. That means that we all--the whole congregation--are the people who plan youth events, teach classes, make friends with children and teens, offer advice and support, act as role models, and, most importantly, share the Christian community.

Sunday School
2023-2024

Register your child (ages 3 years old through 5th grade) for Sunday School for the 2023-2024 school year. Sunday school is during the 10:30 worship service. Children are taken to their classrooms by their parents/ guardians at 10:30  before worship begins and return to worship at 11:15 for communion and to lead the sending song. Sunday school begins on September 17th and the last day is May 19th. This year we are incorporating Second Sunday Songs and Sounds. Your children will be singing and playing instruments so that they can be a part of leading worship and also participating in worship on Sunday, December  17th. 

If you have questions about Sunday School or would like to volunteer, please email Pastor Molly at the church office office@messiahlutheranmqt.org or call 906.225.1119
