SUNDAY MORNING

During our time together youth will  enjoy a relaxed environment where we check in for the week, learn, fellowship, and discuss. The focus right now is connecting Scripture, life, and issues in the world today. 

All grades meet together currently, with the plan to eventually split into Middle School and High School for more focused discussion.

SUNDAY NIGHT YOUTH

​During SNY we offer a variety of ways to be in fellowship with one  another, to grow in relationship with Christ, and to be in ser-vice to the community. We provide opportunities for games, worship, small groups, activities, and mission work.

YOUth Fundraiser Wall of Support, which is a way to directly invest in the ministry of the YOUth, and help us provide opportunities where students can experience Christ. The funds will be used for YOUth Missions, Retreats, Conference Events, New Ministries, and for scholarships to defray costs for any students who want to participate and need assistance. There will be sets of walls around the church, and each of them will have numbered envelopes on them. You’re asked to take an envelope and at least contribute an amount that corresponds to the number on the envelope. (There will be instructions in the envelopes).

Beyond FSFUMC

We believe that Christ compels our youth group to go beyond the walls of FSFUMC to share his love, serve others, and join in passionate worship. Throughout the year we offer many opportunities for students to attend mission trips, spiritual retreats, and worship conferences.

Confirmation

Confirmation is a time where students are given the opportunity to grow in faith together with a mentor and ultimately confirm their own faith before God and their church community. First Methodist offers Confirmation sessions each school year for 6th graders in the spring. Registration is required for Confirmation, so contact Brandon for more details!
