YOUTH FOCUS AREAS
Check out the Youth Ministry's core Focus Areas below:
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
