North Ridgeville

By Jon Wysochanski

With a multitude of problems that could potentially send them down the wrong path, youth face a difficult world today. But a new face in North Ridgeville hopes to intervene in the lives of local kids and help them to make the right choices.

The Rev. Lisa Arledge, a Lutheran minister from Akron, has been involved with youth outreach for 28 years and is bringing her ministry to North Ridgeville.

At St. John/St.Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Akron, Arledge works as a ministries coordinator and also for Oasis Outreach Opportunity Inc., a nonprofit program helping inner-city youth. She was officially ordained as a Lutheran minister in 2009.

Arledge said St. John/St. Paul, which consisted of an aging white congregation, decided to reach out to area youth in 2006. Now the congregation has a core group of more than 50 kids who remain in Akron as a part of Oasis. Both the youth and the older populations have strengthened their faiths through one another, Arledge said.
