Children @ NLC
Children are a key component in church life. They bring wonder and laughter into our lives. Children’s and Family Ministry gathers and celebrates children while fostering love of Jesus Christ in a warm and loving community of faith.
- We help children discover God’s love and live their faith every day.
- We offer an innovative partnership that recognizes parents as the most important person in a child’s faith development.
- Both adults and children will grow in relationship with God and each other.

| First CommunionAll are welcome to the table as baptized members of God’s family. Choosing to begin Communion is a family decision and parents and children are encouraged to discuss together when a child is ready to take Communion. We invite all children in grades 3-5 to their First Communion, though anyone who wishes to receive instruction is welcome, regardless of age. A parent/child instruction retreat is held during Lent. First Communion is celebrated at worship on Maundy Thursday. Questions? Contact our Director of Children & Family Ministry, Kari Warnke at 952.977.9350 or kari@normluth.org.
