HIGH SCHOOL LIFE @ ILC
High school students are actively involved here at Immanuel through various avenues, including youth groups, volunteer opportunities, and small group adventures to places like New Orleans, Wisconsin Dells, Six Flags, concerts, etc. Engaging in church provides High Schoolers with a sense of belonging, support, and accountability within a faith community, fostering a deeper connection to their faith.
