First United Methodist Youth

For:  Grades 6-12

Mission statement: To grow our youth to become firm in their Faith, while becoming Disciples of Jesus Christ so that they will impact the lives of  their friends and community. 

Our ministry teaches the essential tools in order to navigate through the issues facing students in today’s society. We offer several different programs:

Meets Weekly

• Wednesdays (6:00 - 7:00 PM)
  A small group study after dinner allows students to discover and to understand how to apply the Bible in today’s world. After the lesson is completed, the youth like to join the children in the gym for some play time before parents return for pick-up. Gym time includes basketball, kickball, flag football, and learning how to assist the younger children during gym time, whether it is reading to them, pushing them on the bicycles, or teaching them how to play board games.

Other

• Retreats- Are times that we spend away from our normal day to day life and enjoy moments of God’s grace and our faith with our district/conference peers.
  
  
• Mission Trips/Community Projects - We believe strongly in giving back and helping those who are in need of our help and learning more about God's word. These trips/projects can range from local to national summer trips. Camp Uskichitto is one of the children and youth camps that we have sent our kids to in the summer months for years.

• Conferences - We attend several conferences that range from district levels to our national conference level. These allows for our students to grow in their faith.
