We hope to host 1–2 fundraiser events in Fall/Winter 2026 for YOUTH 2027, the national United Methodist youth gathering (July 11–14, 2027 in Dallas, TX). More at umcyoungpeople.org.

Sunday School

Our Youth Group uses a curriculum called Echo the Story 36. The sessions are taught in Sunday School and once a month during the youth group gatherings for more in-depth discussions. 
 
Parents, encourage your teenagers to join us for Sunday School! We have great material, and each student will have a sketch journal to utilize in their study. 
 
Would you like to participate in Sunday School classes as a parent, guardian, or grandparent? Perspective and expertise are critical. You are needed—our youth need your wisdom and teaching skills! The commitment is just once every six weeks.

Mission Trips

The 2026 Mission Trips to the Grand Canyon and Honduras are complete!  Stay tuned for next year’s trips. 

Thank you for your prayers and support!
