Youth Ministry
From faith-building to fun activities, we have something for every student: Sunday school, Wednesday night youth group, Tuesday Night Crosswalk and our Sunday night small group!
Throughout the year, our students will go on retreats, participate in Confirmation, participate in mission trips, and go to Resurrection, an annual weekend retreat filled with worship and spiritual growth for youth and youth mentors. At FCUMC, we aim to help students continue their relationships with Jesus Christ and grow in Christian community with each other. We teach students that they are loved, valued, and seen by God. We also remind students that Jesus desires to have a relationship with them, no matter their circumstances. Our youth group has incredible leaders who help our students navigate their faith and personal journeys. All students are welcome; we believe each person has a seat at God's table.
We use the Grow Curriculum. Grow is an incredible resource that provides topics that are relevant to students. Navigating a faith and spiritual journey can be difficult as a teen. However, Grow does a fantastic job of providing tools and resources that help reflect God's goodness. Through conversation and small groups, we discuss how God is active in our lives and how we are called to love those around us.

Confirmation
Confirmation is a twelve-week study for baptized Christians to publicly reaffirm their baptismal vows and be welcomed into full membership in the church. Confirmation is a time for people to make a commitment to Christian discipleship and to play a full part in the church. All students are welcome to participate. Contact Matt Randle with questions.
