FLC’s youth ministry is a vibrant and energetic place for junior high and high school youth to enjoy time together, exciting activities, and thoughtful discussion about hot topics and issues that youth face each and every day.
FLC Youth gathers together for football parking, special outings, mission trips, and youth gatherings.
Starting this January, FLC & Abiding Savior Youth will begin meeting together for fellowship & Bible Study. All students who are in 5th-12th grade are invited to join us Sunday Evenings at Abiding Savior Lutheran Church (9700 W Newberry Rd, Gainesville, FL 32606), in their Family Life Center, from 4-6pm for a meal, games, and Bible Study.
Thank you to everyone who helped with Football Parking this Fall! We appreciate your help!
The 2022 Football Season is set to start on September 3. See below for a list of the 2022 Football Weekends. During Football Parking FLC Youth (6th-12th Grade) & their parents help with set-up, taking money, and bringing cars to their parking spot. Students also participate in onsite & offsite activities, which varies by week.

What is the LCMS Youth Gathering and Why is it a Big Deal?
The LCMS National Youth Gathering is a 5 day youth convention where 20,000+ youth and adults from around the world gather together to be encouraged in their walk with Jesus. Youth and adults gather to learn, grow, meet new friends, have fun, and serve the Gathering Host City.
This year’s theme, In All Things, is a reminder that the Christian story encompasses all things. Nothing, and no one, is left out. In baptism, all things in our lives are brought under the gracious rule and reign of Jesus Christ. The story includes all of each of us. Christ is the single “big idea” in Paul’s letter to the Colossians, and He will be the single big idea at the 2022 LCMS Youth Gathering.
