Youth Sunday School Program

Youth Sunday School for Grades 6-7 and 8-12 . This class meets each Sunday morning in our new youth house from 9:30-10:30 with teacher, Betsy Tucker. The IT curriculum from Group Publishing is customized to meet the educational needs of the group.

Confirmation Class

This class is for junior high age youth who are interested in learning more about Jesus Christ, the Bible and the church. The goal of confirmation is lead the youth to make their profession of faith in Christ and become active members of the church

Children and Youth Bible Program

It has been a tradition for many years to present a Children's Bible to 3rd graders of the church, a Youth Bible to 7th graders, and an Adult Bible to graduating seniors. These are gifts from the church to our children and youth.

Mission Projects

Our youth have participated in various mission projects over the last several years. In particular, this summer some of our youth traveled to Fort Worth, Texas to participate in the UM Army. Also this past summer, our youth went on a mission trip to the Sunny Glen Children's Home in Benito, Texas. The youth took on several projects to improve the buildings at the home and also enjoyed fellowship with the children who live there. Our youth regularly participate in the Habitat for Humanity project in Nacogdoches. They made and sold brown bag lunches on Super Bowl Sunday and donated the proceeds to the HOPE Center in Nacogdoches.

The youth group is currently fundraising for Mission Trip 2008 to Galveston, Texas. See the youth calendar for monthly community service projects.
