Confirmation
Confirmation at Hamline Church is a two-year program for youth in 7th grade and older to explore what it means to be part of a faith community, then make a decision for themselves about joining the church. This fall, confirmands will meet on 2nd and 4th Sundays after worship. If you’d like to learn more, contact Pastor Heather Grantham (hgrantham@hamlinechurch.org).
Opportunities for Youth & Families:

Winter Family Retreat
Each January, we head up to Park Rapids to Northern Pines Camp for a weekend of outdoor winter fun and cozy indoor time. This fellowship weekend is open to families of all shapes and sizes! This year’s retreat is January 16-19, 2026. Look out for registration details in late fall!
Youth Leaders Program
In the summers, youth 7th – 12th graders can apply to serve as YLP interns. They’ll craft an internship to learn about the work and ministries at Hamline, build leadership skills, and receive a stipend for their time. Application available in late spring!
Mission Trips
In the summers, Hamline Church youth go out into the world to serve, share God’s love, and explore their faith in a variety of ways. They have taken expeditions into the Boundary Waters, served with communities in Chicago, New Orleans, North Carolina, and Detroit, D.C., and Duluth. If you’re interested in summer trips, contact the church office to learn more (humc@hamlinechurch.org).
