UNITED METHODIST YOUTH AT FUMC

As United Methodists, we recognize young people as full members of the Body of Christ - and young people deserve their own community within the larger Church! At FUMC, our Youth Ministry is the group for all 6th-12th graders to grow in love of God and one another! Take a look below to check out some of our activities and focus areas:

YOUTH FOCUS AREAS

Check out the Youth Ministry's core Focus Areas below:

FELLOWSHIP

Acts 2:42 tells us that the early Christians devoted themselves to the apostles' teachings and to fellowship with one another through eating and praying together. Join us for Sunday Night Youth as we have dinner and grow in our relationships to one another!

OUTREACH

John 13:34-35 tells us of Jesus' call to love one another, reminding us that we will be known as Christians by our love! Join us for Sunday Night Youth as we learn what it means to care for one another in Christian love, and practice outreach to our neighbors!

SERVICE

1 Peter 4:10-11 tells us that we should use what we have to help others through service. Come to Sunday Night Youth to learn more about what serving others looks like, and practice the work of loving and serving others!

STUDY

Romans 15:4 reminds us that the study of Scripture can encourage us and bring us hope. Part of being a disciple is learning more about God and our relationship to him! Join us at Sunday Night Youth to learn more about God, ask big questions, and understand what it means to be a United Methodist and a follower of Christ.

WORSHIP

Psalm 150:6 reminds us of the power and importance of worshipping God. On Sunday mornings, the whole church comes together for worship - join us for Sunday Night Youth to worship with your fellow youth!
