Children & Youth

Sunday Church School
During the school year, Church School Classes for children age three through grade 5 are held during the two hours of worship at both 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. A nursery is available for children (infants through age 2) at both Sunday worship services during the school year and at the 9:00 a.m. service during the summer.

Confirmation Program
Beginning with the Sixth grade, students can participate in the church's three-year Confirmation program, preparing them to decide about church membership and the Rite of Confirmation. The program meets eachWednesday night at 6:30 p.m. during the school year. Students in all three years of the program, meet three times a month as a large group for Theme Learning Events led by a Pastor, or other special leader, followed by small group discussion broken down by grade level, then for Service and Fellowship activities with their small group.

Summer Vacation Bible School
During one week each Summer (the specific week is announced at the end of the school year) St. Stephens conducts a morning Vacation Bible School. Volunteer lay leaders conduct classes for children age three through 5th grade for a one-week period. These classes focus on a different bible related theme each year.

Kid's Klub
Several times a year, a special learning, fellowship or service event is planned for elementary school age children. This may be a visit to a nursing home, a craft project, a puppet show, a film. The purpose is to build a sense of Christian fellowship among the children of the church and prepare them for youth fellowship type activities when they enter middle school.

Jesus 24/7 (St. Stephens Youth Fellowship Group)
Jesus 24/7 is the name of St. Stephens' youth fellowship group(s). This group is involved in spiritual growth activities, service projects, recreational activities, and more.

Moon Beach Camp
St. Stephens Church is fortunate to have access to one of the more outstanding church camps in Wisconsin. Located between Eagle River and St. Germain, Moon Beach Camp is used for confirmation and youth group retreats as well as summer camping events for all ages. Annually a calendar of camping events at Moon Beach (the Pilgrim Center, a camp located near Ripon) is made available through the church office. Anyone interested in participating in church camping is invited to obtain this information and take part in these wonderful learning and growing experiences.
