Youth Ministry
 

Our youth program is for teens interested in faith, fun and fellowship.  Throughout the year, we plan many different activities that focus on prayer, Bible study, Christian living, music and FUN! The group also takes part in community based activities like Habitat for Humanity and other special mission projects both in Sarasota and elsewhere. There is a little something for everyone. We invite you to join us whether you are a member of the church or not.

 

YOUTH in the NEWS  
We are blessed with a wonderful bunch of talented children and youth at SAKLC.  To let all know of awards, accomplishments, honors, etc. received by the “younger” members of our family of faith, a Youth in the News bulletin board will soon be in place.  We are asking our children, youth, and their parents to submit items of interest for display on the bulletin board.  A box to receive these items is on the table in the Narthex hallway.  Thanks for your help!

Meet Our YOUTH DIRECTOR  

Hello!  My name is Debbie Leslie-Minier, and I am so excited to be a part of St. Armands Key Lutheran Church as the new Youth Director.

A little bit about me follows:

I have a Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology, and I am a Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine, Registered Massage Therapist, and have over 15 years of experience in coaching and teaching swimming, cycling and running.  I have been in sports all my life and really enjoy the endurance sports, (competed in Ironman Hawaii World Championship and have cycled across France).  

I have worked in Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation, Injury Prevention/Rehab, Aquatic Therapy pre/post joint surgery and arthritic conditions, Fibromyalgia programming and with athletes looking to improve their performance. 

I was born in Chicago and moved to Sarasota about 3 months ago from Dallas.  In Dallas, I was involved with Big Brothers/Big Sisters and really enjoy working with youth.  Through my business, my goal is to help people establish their goals and educate them on what they need to do in order to accomplish them, while still keeping a positive balance in their life with a positive attitude and enjoying the Journey of Life.  I pray that my enthusiasm will cross over to the youth, and they will find their light to shine God’s love unto others. 

I look forward to meeting all of you.  If you would like to be in touch with me, please feel free to call me on my mobile phone 1-469-585-7191 or e-mail me at deborah.leslie@att.net
