YOUTH MINISTRY

The TUMC Youth program is open to all students in grades 6-12. Youth Sunday School happens on Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hour and there is weekly Youth Group on Sunday evenings. Throughout the year, TUMC has retreats, social events, and other opportunities for the youth to worship and socialize with their peers. Youth are also encouraged to volunteer at the church as greeters, ushers, and liturgists.

Youth Sunday School
Sundays | 9:30-10:45AM | Youth Attic

Youth Sunday School meets from 9:30-10:45AM for grades 6th-12th in the Youth Attic. Students are currently immersed in a study called “Focus,” a Bible study meant to help students let go of distractions and grow closer to God.

Youth Group
Sundays | 11:00AM | Youth Attic

Youth Group will not meet for the month of May.

Youth Group is a special time for fellowship, small group discussions, and games. Youth Group is an entirely different experience than Sunday School, so students are welcome to attend Sunday School and Youth Group, or choose one or the other.

On the first Sunday of every month starting October 1, youth will come to the 11:00 service as a group to worship and share Holy Communion together.

For the next several weeks, we will be discussing current events in Youth Group. Church is a safe space to talk about things happening in our world in a respectful, faith-centered way. We will avoid polarizing topics and instead discuss the bigger story of who we are as a people in today’s context.
