YOUTH MINISTRY
Young people aren't the future of the Church. They are the church!
At Christ UMC, we believe that youth are a vital part of our congregation. From worship to Bible studies to retreats and mission trips, we seek to provide a space for 6th-12th graders to ask honest questions and grow in their faith together. Our youth programs are open to the entire community, and you are invited to join us for a time of faith and fellowship each week!
Sunday School - Sundays at 9am
We offer Sunday morning groups to grow in our faith each week beginning at 9am. Join us in the middle school and high school Sunday school classes as our adult mentors help us dive deeper into our faith journey.
Youth Service Initiatives
Our youth serve in ministries within the church, within the community, or anywhere there's a need in the area. Our youth are involved in increasing activities within the church and many other types of spiritual and physical growth activities, such as pickleball and pickup basketball.
Youth Midweek Connection
Following our Wednesday night meal with the Journeys small group, we meet for a time of fellowship and faith. Bring a friend, classmate, neighbor, cousin, or total stranger - all are welcome!
Annual Retreats
Throughout the year we have a number of opportunities to grow in our faith outside of church. Each January we participate in Resurrection, an annual event of worship and spiritual growth with youth from across East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and Northeast Georgia held in Pigeon Forge. There are also opportunities throughout the year for mission trips (local or regional) and weekend retreats.
