Youth Ministry
We at Woodland are passionate about seeing our young people develop a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our goal is to provide a place where students are challenged in their faith, encouraged through the support of others, and energized to love God and others. Our Woodland youth meet in various venues throughout the week in both Rib Lake and Westboro.
Sunday Mornings
(September – May)
Youth MORE Hour: 10:30-11:30

A Note About our Ministry
The safety and security of children left in our care is an extremely high priority. All volunteers receive safety training and adult volunteers are background checked. In addition, we have a policy that at no time should a volunteer or staff member be alone with a child.
New friends are always welcome!
Parents of children with special needs are encouraged to contact us in advance so we can ensure that we are ready to safely and effectively meet your children’s needs.
