Youth

" Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young..."

" ...but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. " 1 Timothy 4:12

Our Youth Ministry is designed for middle and high schoolers (grades 6-12). We strive to create a safe and inclusive space for youth to grow their faith with their peers through scripture, traditions, experience, and reason. We offer a time for youth to learn, apply, and reflect on how God is working in their life with youth group, service events, social events, and camps. Check out some of our upcoming events on our Children and Youth Calendar.

Warren willis Summer Camp

Warren Willis is an experiential Christian community that offers summer camps for those who want to practice their faith in a unique way.

With over 75 years of experience, we have created an environment where every moment matters, whether you are on the ropes course, attending chapel, enjoying the waterfront of Lake Griffin, or sharing a meal with fellow campers.

Our cabins are comfortable, the dining hall is cozy, and the chapel is peaceful – but what truly changes lives is the experience of being part of a small group. At Warren Willis, campers are accepted and loved for who they are, and they are encouraged to live out their faith together in ways that translate to their everyday lives.

Join us for an immersive experience of practicing Christian faith that will help you form new friendships, strengthen your faith, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Week 1: June 16-21, 2025
$75 per child to reserve your spot!

Youth Group

Youth group is one of the best ways to get involved in our youth ministry. All grades 6th-12th come together for this time. We meet most every Sunday from 4:30pm-7:00pm. During this time we share a meal together, play some games, and worship with each other.

Confirmation:
Confirmation is a big step in the United Methodist Church. It's a chance for our young people to confirm their baptismal covenant and claim their faith as their own. During this 15-week program we do a deep dive into what it means to be Religious, Christian, and Methodist. At the end of the program the youth will have the option to confirm their faith in front of the church.
