Community Building for 8th-12th Graders:
Come be part of the discussion!
Youth Forum is your Sunday morning spot for discussing topics relevant to you. We do check-ins, consider current events, watch videos and discuss their themes, and put our own questions into a topic jar to see what's on our mind. This group is open to members and their friends in 8th-12th grade.
Come be a part of the fun!
We do more than just Sundays. There are field trips, game nights, fundraisers, retreats, joint events with other UMC churches, three annual lock-ins, and more. Pay attention to the calendar here and definitely join our Facebook group to get the latest scoop and RSVP for events.
