Youth Ministry
|
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! For more information on Sunday School, go here. Or, contact Rev. Paige M.

United Methodist Youth Fellowship
Sunday 5:30 - 7:30pm
Time spent at MYF will help 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, engage in lessons that connect their faith to real life situations. Youth meet in the Education Building.

Wednesday Night Youth Gathering
Wednesday 6:30 - 7:30pm
Wednesday Night Youth Gathering provides a moment of grace from the stressful school week, with mission projects and devotionals. On the first Wednesday of the month, youth go to Greater Spartanburg Ministries to help in their thrift store and pantry. On the second Wednesday of the month, a volunteer leads a devotional based on faith and scripture. On the remaining Wednesdays, the youth watch movies followed by a devotional based on that movie.

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, beach trips, ski trips, and at youth fundraisers. They go camping, horseback riding, and river rafting, and have girls/guys night out. It is good clean fun while connecting with other Christians.
