The Youth Ministry is a dynamic program that offers many opportunities for youth to socialize, learn, work in mission, and to worship. Ministries include youth choir and handbells, drama, Confirmation (6th graders), Middle School and High School UMYF (United Methodist Youth Fellowship), retreats, mission trips, YouthArts, and recreation programs. Our UMYF year culminates in the summer with an all-youth Garden City Beach Retreat.
