Youth Ministry during the Coronavirus
We aim to provide an environment of safety and growth for the youth of Central. Due to Covid-19, we have adapted youth gatherings and events in light of safety precautions. During the fall of 2021, youth will meet on Sunday evenings 5:30-6:30pm at various locations for fellowship and and spiritual growth. We are not having dinner together at this time. Any youth currently in 6th-12th grades are welcome to come!
To reduce exposure, we socially distance and meet outdoors when possible. Everyone is also asked to wear masks while indoors.
Contact Paige to find out where we are meeting this week or if you have any questions.

More about Central Youth
Central United Methodist Church has one of the most awesome youth groups around!
We tackle tough issues relevant to a teenager's life. We study social justice issues like homelessness, hunger, and abuse, and learn how we can help. We get our hands dirty with different kinds of mission projects, from repairing roofs in the Bahamas, to sorting cans at the local pantry. But we also know how to have fun! With ski trips, retreats, camping trips, lock-ins, and more, you are sure to have a blast. So come join us!

Sunday School
Sunday school is a time where we eat doughnuts, gather with friends, and explore scripture together. We use studies that connect scripture and faith to justice issues. Youth Sunday School is currently not meeting due to Covid-19.
United Methodist Youth Fellowship (MYF)
Time spent at MYF helps youth grow in their friendship with each other and grow in their faith in God. We first have dinner together, provided by youth parents and church members, followed by recreation. Afterwards, we engage in lessons that connect faith to real life situations. Youth meet in the Education Building. Currently, MYF is meeting on a modified schedule. See Coronavirus update at the top of this page for the latest meeting information.

Fellowship Activities
Fellowship activities are an important aspect of Youth Ministry. We dig deep into real life issues and it takes trust to open up to each other. To build trust, we build relationships through common experiences. Youth enjoy their time together at Carowinds, lock-ins, ski trips, and at youth fundraisers. It is good clean fun while connecting with other Christians.
