Youth Programs

Our youth programs ministers to young people throughout the Grand Strand, leading them toward lives of discipleship under the Lord Jesus Christ.

We offer many opportunities for Christian growth, including weekly fellowship meetings, Bible studies, seasonal retreats, special events, small growth groups and mission projects. We even offer a parenting support group for parents who wish to enhance their Christian parenting skills. Our Junior High group is for those in the 6th through 8th Grades. Our Senior High program is for those in the 9th through 12th Grades.

We have many exciting things planned this season. No matter who you are, there is a place for you in the youth program of First United Methodist Church.

Please note: If any parent(s) would like to ever plan a retreat for the youth or take a group to something, we are always open to you doing so. With many of the leaders having families, it gets hard for them to get away very much. Please let me know if any of you would be interested in doing something like this and we can work together on this.

Please call me (Jim Magann) if you ever have any questions about anything with this schedule or other things we have going on. 448-7164.
