United Methodist Youth Fellowship

The church currently has two youth groups, one comprised of grades 6 – 8 (Middle School) and the other of grades 9 through 12 (High School). The High Schoolers meet Sundays 5:30-7:00 p.m. and the Junior Highs meet 5:30-7:00 p.m. for recreation, music and study. All youth, whether members or not, are welcome. Meet at the church unless otherwise announced. Dinners are served at 5:30 p.m.

We are changing the structure of our Sunday Night Youth Group Meetings by resourcing and supporting our new Youth Leaders. High School Leaders will be Marcus and Greta Metcalf and Lisa and Kent Briggs.  Middle School Leaders is Molly Leikam.

Youth Leaders will meet once a month to provide input and to review already prepared Sunday night programming. Additional youth leadership will be through our Sunday school teachers, Julie Barnes for High School and Eric Ridenour for Middle School.
