*The Youth Leadership Council (YLC) meets monthly to plan the events for the 9th-12th grade calendar. They also help host the events to welcome new people to the group. If you are interested in being on the YLC, and are in 9th through 12th grade, contact Alan Rogstad by calling the church office.

Holy Spirit Lutheran Church is committed to keeping children safe, and so asks that all adults volunteering in ministries with children and youth undergo a background screening. Our guidelines are outlines in a “Safe Haven” policy, available in our church office. We also ask that you attend a training session so you are familiar with this policy and have the opportunity to ask questions. Contact the church office to register for the next class or obtain the class schedule.

Holy Spirit needs to have a check run by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) on any person who will drive our vans or drive their personal vehicle for any Holy Spirit Lutheran Church sponsored event. This is done in order to maintain our insurance coverage. If you plan to drive for any event, please fill in both pages of a DMV Check Form and submit it, along with a copy of your driver’s license and proof of insurance (if you plan to drive your personal vehicle) to the church office.
