Youth
The Youth Ministry at Central United Methodist Church exists to create disciples of Jesus who are empowered to Love God and Neighbor, in a safe and welcoming environment. We seek to equip Youth with knowledge of scripture, and challenge them with deep reflection, as they grow in faith on their personal walk with Jesus.
Upcoming Events

We occasionally ask parents to register their Youth for events when we need to plan accordingly, for example, Santahatchie. This will be communicated in advance so you have ample time to register your Youth.
Youth Fundraisers
Throughout the year, the Youth Ministry hosts various fundraisers to help with travel and other expenses related to activities done by our Youth. Check back here for more information regarding our fundraisers.
Youth Sunday School
Sunday School meets each Sunday morning. This class offers a space for students to study the Bible and explore their faith through open, real, and relevant discussions. Led by a rotating team of volunteers, the goal is for every youth to feel seen, heard, and supported. Materials are provided, and students are encouraged—but not required—to bring their Bibles. Friends are always welcome!
Sunday Night United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF)
UMYF meets on Sunday nights from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM during the school year. Middle School (Grades 6-8) will gather from 5:30 PM -6:30 PM. Then High Schoolers (Grades 9-12) will gather from 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM. Everyone ( Middle and High School) will eat dinner together from 6:30 PM - 7:00 PM.
