Youth Ministry

Rafting. Paint night. Resurrection. Ministry and Service Opportunities. Our Fountain City UMC youth ministry seamlessly mixes fun and faith, service and slip-n-slide, all while providing a safe space for our youth to discover what it means to follow Jesus, even when it’s tough or unpopular. Our youth ministry staff (including our hopelessly amazing interns) are dedicated to building real, lasting friendships with and between our middle and high school students. For more information on all the wacky and/or messy events our Youth Director can dream up, please contact Pastor Chase Crickenberger.

  • Wednesday nights: Join us for the church-wide fellowship meal beginning at 5:30 PM in the Gym, then head on down to Old Fellowship Hall from 6:30-7:30 PM!
  • Sunday night small groups are getting a refresh! Beginning January 15, Middle school youth will meet from 6:00-7:00 PM in Old Fellowship Hall. Come for the cookies, stay for the conversation.

  • Sunday morning discipleship schedule: all youth are invited to join us at 9:45 AM for Sunday School in Room B17.

Our Medical Release Form no longer requires a notary, so we have rolled it together with our Media Release and Digital Communication Consent Form into this online FCUMC Youth Ministry Participation Form.
