The Parish House is "born again"!

The Parish House, located on the campus of English Lutheran Church along South Piety Street, has been converted
into a “Youth House”!

This is something that has
been a GREAT need here in Ellsworth. The Youth House is a place for kids to hang out during the week. On weekends, it's open at certain times for movie nights, game nights, etc. This is a place for all the youth in the community to come!

The purpose of the “Youth House” is to share /files/youth images/Youth House/bathtubremoval.jpgChrist through life. At the heart of this ministry is a team of individuals dedicated to making it a place where youth can find genuine friendships and experience God in a real way. It is a neutral, safe and comfortable place for youth to go after school and on weekends. This complements the current youth ministry here at English Lutheran Church. Our Mission Statement is “Make Jesus Known” and that is exactly what we want to do!

The Youth House Vision:
