Ongoing Programs

Sunday School

We have a great time during Sunday school,so if you are not participating in Sunday school, you are missing out! This is the most informative time of the week to learn about God and ourselves and to deepen our relationship with God.  We have wonderful, caring teachers who would love for you to be a part of the class.

UMYF (United Methodist Youth Fellowship)

Sunday night is the most exciting night of the week. At 6 p.m. we gather in Hart Hall for food, fun and fellowship.  Through games and group discussion, praise and worship, and a lesson full of great God stuff, we get a real sense of Christian fellowship at its finest.  You never know what to expect when it comes to the adventure that Sunday nights bring to all!

Small Groups

Teenage years are not easy years. However, having someone to “hold your hand,” makes life much less difficult.  Our small groups offer time for teenagers to pray, play, share and grow together.  The “young” adults that make up the ministry team play a big part in small group ministries.  There are groups divided by gender and age for all youth. We meet every Wednesday night from 7:15 to 8:15 p.m.

Serious Time

Every Wednesday night a group of youth gather in the youth room between
7:15 and 8:00 for a serious time of worship.  After taking our shoes off and
symbolically walking into Holy Ground, we are challenged to go deeper in
our relationship with the Almighty.  Through praise and worship, along
with a short devotion/lesson, we are encouraged to examine our own lives in light of the face of God.  This time usually finishes open-ended for  a period of prayer and reflection, individually or with a small group of peers.  It is definitely a time for youth to get serious about "stepping it up" in both faith and commitment.

The Leadership Team

This is the group of youth that help lead Sunday night activities, retreats, mission experiences and other exciting programming that go on within the Youth Ministry Department. We meet at least once a month on Sunday afternoons at 5 p.m. All youth are welcome to be a part of this team.
