Youth Ministry at FUMC

Building a Foundation for a Life Time

Worship, fellowship, service, and discipleship make up the fabric of First United Methodist Church Youth Ministry. Each week, students find a Christ-centered, energetic environment to grow in faith and friendship through games, worship, and learning. A dedicated core of youth counselors and teachers guide students through the week-to-week activities and help develop meaningful relationships within the group.

Youth Ministry at FUMC is focused on providing opportunities for personal spiritual growth and helping students further discover their identity in Christ through mission work, summer camp, weekend retreats, worship and fun.
