UMYF

UMYF United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF) is a ministry at First United Methodist Church that provides a vital and dynamic way for teens, in grades 6 - 12, to grow in their Christian discipleship. While there are many exciting events that youth can participate in, our main emphasis is on building meaningful relationships with one another and with God. We do this by being involved in the lives of our youth. Each ministry has a caring team of adults that work with the youth on a regular basis.

UMYF meets every Sunday from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. during the school year and at various times during the summer.

We also make our programming fun and inviting, so kids will not only want to come, but will want to bring their friends as well. First UMC offers youth a wide range of classes and opportunities for growth and socialization. Whether the activity is the Disciple Bible study, a retreat at a United Methodist camp, a mission work project, or a Sunday evening UMYF program, the youth are constantly challenged to grow within the body of Christ. Activities are designed to provide Christian fellowship as well as learning experiences. We have many special programs, events and trips for youth throughout the year planned by trained adult leaders and youth representatives.
