It isn’t easy being a teen in a confused and confusing society. The United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF) seeks to help young people (12-18 years) enjoy positive experiences in their church lives. By reaching out to other young people in the community, our youth share their growing faith and by working within the church to serve the community they develop a spirit of commitment. In addition to sharing and caring, fun is also a basic ingredient in the UMYF.

UMYF Youth Ministries is a place where any Youth from Jr High to High school can get involved with our church youth group to have an environment that is safe and accepting of all, while at the same time learning about God’s love for each one in fun and exciting ways.  We meet twice a week during the school year on Wednesday and Sunday evenings.  During our weekly meetings we start off with fun, games, and fellowship.  We then spend the second part of our meetings with a short Bible lesson that is interactive and engaging.  We also plan trips throughout the year for events like Mid-Winter Retreat which is a 3 day retreat full of fun, fellowship, and worship through music provided by talented youth bands and special speakers.  We also plan for youth mission trips which occur during the summer.  Some of the missions are local while others can be from state wide to other surrounding states.  We also organize fundraisers to help with the cost of the trips in order that the youth are able to afford the trips.  If you would like to be a part of this exciting youth group and are looking for a place where everybody knows your name, come and check out what God’s people have to offer you!
