What Is Faith Five?
Developed by Dr. Rich Melheim, a Lutheran pastor and the founder of Faith Inkubators, Faith5 is a five-step ritual that's being applauded across the U.S. for instilling a sense of security and optimism in children. It's an easy-to-follow formula that covers some important basics and empowers even the least confident discussion leader. Conversation, sharing, devotions, blessings, and prayer is now what happens when we come together.
The five steps are:
1
SHARE
Your highs and lows
2
READ
A Bible verse or story
2
TALK
About how the reading might relate to your highs and lows
2
PRAY
For one another's highs and lows
5
BLESS
One another

MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL
Youth LEADing Youth (YLY)
A ministry programmed by the middle and high school youth, for the youth — with guidance from parents and pastoral staff, not direction from the top down.
How It Works
Middle and high school students plan and lead their own monthly meetings and service activities, making real decisions about where the group's charitable giving and ministry focus should go. Adults are present to guide — the students lead.
Living Out Our Baptismal Commitments
Every YLY activity connects back to five commitments made at baptism:
Join God's faithful community
Engage scripture & communion
Share Christian faith in word & deed
Serve others as Jesus did
Strive for justice & peace
