Every Sunday during the 10:00 am service, St. Pete & East Bay

Children ages 3 through 5th grade are invited to join us weekly for a special time of worship, fun, and learning about Jesus tailored just for their wiggly bodies! Our dedicated team of leaders usher the group out just before the sermon every week at both our St. Pete and East Bay campuses for a high-energy, age-appropriate lessons, crafts, games, and worship selected just for them. After the service, families can come pick up their child in the specified classrooms.

Be a part of something incredible! Every summer, Our Savior throws a huge VBS with tons of kids, games, crafts, worship, and more. Our VBS has been featured district-wide for our unique week of fun! Children ages 3 (potty-trained) up through 5th grade are welcome to participate in this free program. We start with a casual nightly dinner at 5:00 pm, with VBS running from 6:00—8:00 pm each evening.
We’re calling all middle schoolers, high schoolers, and adults to volunteer for this year’s VBS. Be a role model for our kids as you lead them. Whether you like to teach, lead songs, make crafts, or help behind the scenes, we have a spot for you!

Our confirmation program seeks to engage our youth in active Christian living and to lead our young people to commit to the study of Godʼs Word, regular worship, active prayer, selfless service, and Christian fellowship—for life. Our confirmation program has a rich tradition, and is built on a standard of excellence in curriculum and teaching to craft a foundation of faith for your child, while accommodating the busy lives of our families. Our program runs during the school year, with classes held on Wednesday evenings from 6:00—8:00 pm at Our Savior St. Pete. These meetings are cover in-depth teaching of the Ten Commandments, Confession, the Lordʼs Prayer, the Apostleʼs Creed, Baptism, Communion, spiritual gifts, service, who we are as a church, and other important topics.

Our youth served nearly 3,000 hours in the community last year alone! We love Tampa Bay, and make every effort to engage with the great community around us to share our faith and bless others. Join us for new and meaningful service events every month, including partnerships with Ronald McDonald House, Sabal Palms pediatric nursing facility, the Brain Tumor Alliance, the Tampa Bay Rowdies, and other creative groups. Whether you love making meals for our local fire fighters or working with small children, we have a place for you to do something special!

Every summer, our youth embark on trips to serve and fellowship together in different places. We’ve gone on mission trips to St. Louis, New Orleans, and every three years, we excitedly participate in the National Youth Gatherings. We’re already looking forward to the NYG in Minneapolis in 2019!

We enjoy lots of off-campus events in our community during the school year, including Winterjam, Night of Joy, Rock the Universe, district retreats, and more. Whether you enjoy rock concerts, rock climbing, or theme parks, our youth regularly enjoy many different fun events around our beautiful city!
