Kids & Youth
Emmanuel Kids is a fun, children focused message and activity which is integrated into our regular worship services that seeks to get children of all ages into a deep, active relationship with our Heavenly Father. A specially prepared Children’s Message is provided every week during the service to enable kids and families to share in the full worship service, communion and any other celebrations. A craft activity linked to the message and worship theme is prepared to reinforce the key points of the Children’s Message and the children are invited to share their handiwork with the congregation immediately prior to the closing worship song.
Engage Youth is a cross-congregational youth ministry which hosts fortnightly youth events during school term for all high school aged and senior primary school aged youth. Originally established with support from an LLL Mission Grant Engage Youth is lead by a part-time Youth Coordinator who is employed by Emmanuel but serves youth across other Lutheran congregations across Toowoomba and the Darling Downs. Engage also hosts joint congregational activities as part of its mission to promote unity and fellowship across our Lutheran congregations.
Child Safety
We take the safety of all children and vulnerable people very seriously. We want everyone who is involved with Emmanuel Lutheran Fellowship to find the rich and full life that God wants for us and to do so we follow the 10 Child Safety Standards set out by the Lutheran Church of Australia.
This includes requiring that all leaders involved with our children and youth programs have a BlueCard and have completed ‘Safe Church’ training.
