First United Methodist Church recognizes how important the middle and high school years are. They are a time of challenge, change, fun, and confusion as our youth investigate who they are in the Lord. FUMC Youth Group helps teens on that journey of self-discovery. Our youth are vibrant members of the church community.

Our youth group is open to all kids in grades 6-12. All area middle and high schools are well represented in the group, creating a natural, healthy diversity.

Sunday school for jr. and sr. high students is held on Sunday morning from 10:15-11:15 in the youth suite on the third floor of the church.

Youth group meets on Sunday night from 5-7PM and dinner is provided. For more information on weekly activities email Pastor Ashley here.
