Wednesdays Are for Youth
Youth Night is Immanuel’s Wednesday evening program for students in grades 5–12. Every week during the school year, middle and high school students gather at the Immanuel Youth Center — located just behind the church and school at 2616 S Connecticut Ave — for a free meal, organized activities, and time in God’s Word. Food. Friends. Faith. All are welcome. Wednesday nights run September through May. In summer the group meets for ice cream outings and other seasonal activities instead.
Wednesday Evening Schedule
- 5:00 PM — Confirmation Class begins for enrolled students (6th grade and up, led by Pastor Chris Ramstad)
- 5:45 PM — Doors open, free meal served, activities begin — all youth grades 5–12 welcome
- 8:00 PM — Activities conclude, head for home
The Youth Center features comfortable gathering spaces, a gym, ping pong, pool table, and more — designed as a place where young people genuinely want to be. Students from nearly a dozen area schools come through our doors each week.
