Youth Ministries

Growing in Faith. Living in Love. Serving with Joy.


Welcome to the Youth Group at Grace, where young people in grades 6–12 come together to grow in their relationship with Christ, build lasting friendships, and make a difference in our church and community.

What We’re About

Our youth ministry is a place where  students can be themselves, ask hard questions, have fun,

and explore their faith in a safe and supportive environment. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus

Christ and the values of the United Methodist Church, we focus on:

  • Faith Formation – Through Bible study, worship, and discussion.
  • Fellowship – Game nights, retreats, and shared meals.
  • Service – Local mission work and outreach projects.
  • Leadership – Opportunities to serve in worship and church events.


Weekly Youth Gatherings

Sundays at 10:00AM for Sunday School and 12:15PM for Lunch and Youth Group


Each week, we gather for food, games, worship, and real conversations about life and faith. All are welcome—bring a friend!


Special Events

  • Retreats
  • Mission Trips
  • Youth Sunday – A youth-led worship service
  • Confirmation Classes (for grades 7+)


Check the Events Calendar for upcoming trips, fundraisers, and service opportunities!
