Helping all students to grow in their faith.
Develop vital leadership skills when you become part of our ministry team, dedicated to serving youth through Christ.
Concordia Youth Ministry
Senior and Junior High Youth
Our CYM teams are equipped to lead youth and help them grow in their faith through community with one another! Our teams can lead lock-ins and youth nights, and are able to serve at LCMS District Youth Gatherings as well!
CUC Students
Concordia-Chicago students gather weekly for team-building, leadership training and planning, and working together to serve in fellowship. The CYM teams then plan and lead events for youth, including bible studies, lock-ins and retreats. They experience the benefits of consistent, Christ-centered relationships, grounded in Christ and His word. Weekly meetings provide a time for you to refocus on Christ and the gospel in the midst of all the hectic schedules of everyday lives.
The goal of CYM is, through the power of Christ’s gospel, to love one another, build support for one another, and refocus our lives on the work He has for us.
