We believe this time is an opportunity for youth to deepen their understanding of the Bible and their faith. By engaging in deeper discussions and asking questions, we strive to carve a space that encourages a personal relationship with God and on building a Christ-centered community with one another.

The Apostle Paul said “Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers…” – 1 Timothy 4:12. We believe our youth aren’t just the future of God’s kingdom but are just as much the present too and that means respecting their theological views and their ability to make an impact in the community at any age!

We like to do that through mission and service projects. These projects demonstrate to others the student’s capability to serve and it helps them cultivate their missional calling along the way.

Celebrating and having fun together is one way we believe fosters inclusion and diversity in our church and it’s one of our favorite parts when comes to engaging in God’s glory together!

Check the calendar, email chains, and the Community UMC webpage and affiliates, for monthly youth-related trips and activities!

Student Life Group is a small group fellowship gathering for 9th-12th grade students to connect and bring each other closer to God. We meet once a week in homes, coffee shops, and restaurants to catch up, study, and find support and encouragement along our faith journey.
