The mission of the United Methodist Youth at Emmanuel is to provide a risk-free environment that encourages its’ members to develop and deepen their faith in God and to direct the youth towards a life that calls them to minister to others.  This can be accomplished with the support of peers, parents and the church body. 

Sunday School is available every Sunday from 9:00-10:00 am in the Ministry Center.  The class is taught by Jim Iron, Jennifer Nance and Alan Williams.  The class uses the Live Big curriculum. In November, Confirmation for our 8th grade youth begins!

An activity is usually held on the second and fourth Sunday of each month.  Some of the events this year will be a lock-in, Shadowland, bowling, go-karts, and lunch at a local restaurant. 

The Wednesday Night Special- Dinner will be held from 6:00-6:45.  The class begins at 6:45 and ends at 8:00.  Check the calendar for specific dates.

Wednesday Night ROCK - This group meets from 7:00-8:00 pm in the Ministry Center on the first and third Wednesday of each month when The Wednesday Night Special isn’t being held.  This small group enjoys a time of fellowship while hearing a message about God.  Check the calendar for specific dates.
