Middle school students meet in the Youth Lounge and high school students meet downstairs in the High School room for Sunday School at 9:45 a.m.
Small Groups
Small groups for youth center around Bible study, discussion and assorted interests.
Music
Middle school and high school singers are invited to lend their voices to the Youth Choir. Each spring, the Youth Choir presents a major musical. The Youth Choir also takes a concert tour in early summer.
Retreats allow us to enjoy Christian fellowship with one another in a different, relaxed setting.We go on three trips each year: a fall retreat, winter ski trip and summer beach trip.
Mission Trips
Both our middle school and our senior high youth have the opportunity to travel and do mission work during the summer. Our youth mission trips take our youth out of the comfort of their homes to be in ministry with others. We have traveled to Virginia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Montreal, New York, New Mexico, Arizona, Tennessee, West Virginia, Goldsboro and Speed, N.C., with an emphasis on constructional and relational work with people in need. This year both our high school and middle school teams served in West Virginia through the Appalachia Service Project.
Besides the trips and other big events, the bulk of our time together is centered around Sunday night meetings, called United Methodist Youth Fellowship, or UMYF. We meet from 5-6:45 p.m. on Sunday nights, and a delicious meal is always provided. We sing, play games, pray together, do skits, join in Bible study and otherwise share in Christian friendship. Come meet our amazing counselors -- young adults who dedicate their time to nurturing the faith of middle and high school students. Come to see, learn about and know God -- the God who loves you and who cares deeply about every part of your life!
Upcoming Events:
Starting September 12, join us every Sunday evening through the fall and spring from 5:00-6:30 for dinner, games and small group fellowship. We meet in the Fellowship Hall.

Fall Retreat
All youth are invited to the U-Crew / Youth Choir “Wind and Water” Fall Retreat at Camp Don Lee October 15-17. Think of it as a fun, relaxing and spiritually enriching retreat to give you a break from the fall semester. There’ll be singing, laughing, worshiping, canoeing and sailing, as well as plenty of opportunity to have fun with your friends, all in a beautiful setting that truly allows you to delight in God’s creation. You’ll also be the first ones to find out important details about next year’s choir tour. Sign up by September 19!
