St. Lorenz Youth Ministry Mission Statement
“The St. Lorenz Youth Ministry is a Christ-centered ministry for supporting the diverse spiritual needs of the youth and their families. Activities and programs will focus on relationship building, first with their Savior Jesus Christ and then with their parents, family members*, and one another. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we will facilitate outreach, service to God and the community, and strengthening the spiritual walk of our youth.”

"With a budget as large as St. Lorenz has, what possible difference can my offering make?"
"Can’t we have the St. Lorenz Foundation pay most of our expenses?"
"It seems as if St. Lorenz is always ‘running in the red’ with our Operating Fund. Why is it, then, that we always seem to have money for ‘luxury’ items like electronic sign boards, new buildings in the Churchgrove and video monitors in the church?"
“Who determines how Operating Fund monies are spent?”
- Personnel Costs
- Utilities and Insurance
- Program Expenses
To have your ministry included in future "Ministry Matters", please submit information to

REV. DR. JAROSLAV VAJDA, composer, hymn writer, and musician died on May 10th. St. Lorenz members may know him from some of the hymns he has written, such as "Go, My Children, With My Blessing." We know him especially as the author of our 150th anniversary hymn, "Where the Swallow Makes Her Nest."
“Worshiping the Savior” Emphasis
During the 2007-08 school year, we emphasized the Ministry Council’s first of four Ministry Outcomes, which is “Bringing People to Christ.” Beginning in September, we will focus on the second outcome: “Worshiping the Savior.” Ministry Council is working with the Commission on Spiritual Life and Worship to identify goals, strategies, and activities for this emphasis.

Summertime Stress Slowing You Down? We like to think of summer as being a relaxing, enjoyable time. But hurts, struggles, crises, and problems don't take a vacation. Many times our difficulties seem even worse during the summer because everyone else seems to be enjoying life while you are feeling down. If you are experiencing a difficult time - emotionally, spiritually or relationally - you don't have to suffer alone. Our Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers, ready to listen, care for and encourage you, pray with and for you, and provide one-to-one Christian care to help you through whatever it is that you are facing. Men are matched with male Stephen Ministers and women are matched with female Stephen Ministers. It's free. It's confidential. And it will make a difference in your life!
