Recreation


The purpose of the recreation program at First United Methodist Church is to provide creative and meaningful leisure-time activities for its members and the surrounding community in a Christian atmosphere and setting. The recreation program gives individuals another opportunity to realize the value of the church and to develop caring relationships with other members of our congregation.

Youth Events

The United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF) includes every imaginable type of recreation: swimming, skating, golf, and a variety of fun and games.

Adult Events

A number of adult Sunday School classes offer social events throughout the year, especially during the Christmas season.

Keenagers

The Keenagers have a scheduled event each month. We have visited such places as the Opryland Hotel, Opryland Theme Park, the Upper Room, and Branson, Missouri. Our group of senior adults enjoys an especially warm and caring fellowship as a result of this ministry.

Camps

A variety of camps for kindergarten through twelfth graders are offered each summer at the Lakeshore United Methodist Assembly. Parent-child day camps and overnighters are offered for small children and their parents. Five-day camps are offered for older children and youth.
