Sunday School
Sunday School is an opportunity for our students to engage with scripture. All Youth meet in the High School room at 10:00 am. Classes are taught by rotating Adult Volunteer teachers and focus on various Bible studies throughout the year. Students will be able to hear messages, discuss their faith, and grow together in their relationship with Jesus.
Special Events
We love doing things together!! We plan special events throughout the year, including:

Confirmation Class
Confirmation classes take place during the Spring each year. This ministry focuses on preparing youth for full membership in the United Methodist Church, with a focus on church history, principles, teachings, and sacraments. Students learn about discipleship and their role in the church body. Contact Seth Wright or Pastor Judson for more information.
Acolyte
To acolyte is one of the first acts of service for children to serve God in the church. If you have a child/youth in 2nd grade through 6th grade, please encourage them to participate in our Acolyte Ministry. The Service Rotation is typically every other month and training is provided.
