Youth Ministries

Sunday School

Our Sunday School is divided into two sections. Youth in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade meet in junior high class, and youth attending ninth through twelfth grades meet in the senior high class. Students in these classes study the Bible, apply Biblical principles to current social issues, and offer support to each other as classmates face the challenge of living a Christian life.

Confirmation Class

Those youth who are considering membership in the church attend confirmation class. We look at the Methodist church history, organization, beliefs, and basic Christian principles.

United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF)

UMYF is a vital and growing ministry of our church. This program can be viewed as an "umbrella" for the variety of available youth activities. On Sunday evenings the youth gather for an evening of Christian fellowship from 3:00 until 5:00 p.m.. Junior high youth meet from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday night. Senior high youth meet from 7:00- 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday night. Programs, worship, service projects, and trips are just a few of the ministries offered at our church.

Bible Studies

We offer a program of Bible reading and study that will result in biblically nourished youth committed to live as disciples.

Service Projects

The youth reach out to the less fortunate in many ways, including collecting food for the local food bank, hosting carnivals for children in the community, visiting shut-ins, and collecting and delivering toys to children during the Christmas season. By participating in these service projects, our youth develop the basic Christian value of service to others.

Mission Trips

We participate in mission trips. The youth minister through their work during the day and plan worship and share times at night. Those youth who have participated in mission trips attest that each trip has been a life-changing experience for them.
