YOUTH MINISTRIES

BELONGING. BELIEVING. BECOMING.

Welcome to CCUM Youth - A Place of Belonging, Believing, and Becoming. We believe in creating a space where students feel they belong, make faith their own, and grow into who God created them to be. Whether you are new or a returning member, we're so glad you're here. 

Belonging

We are committed to creating an environment where every student feels valued and accepted. No matter their background, their doubts, or where they are on their faith journey, they have a place here. This is a space to find community, support, and friends who share the same values and passions.

Believing

We want to help students discover and deepen their personal faith in Jesus Christ. It's not just about knowledge; it's about a relationship with Him. We encourage our students to explore their faith, ask tough questions, and seek the truth with open hearts.

Becoming

We believe every student is on a path of becoming the person God created them to be. Through challenges, service, leadership opportunities, and personal growth, students are empowered to step into their purpose. We encourage them to take risks, lead with integrity, and strive to make a difference in the world around them.

Grow/Serve

  • Our youth ministry provides a God Centered model for spiritual transformation, guiding students to deepen their connection with God, build strong relationships with one another, and engage in personal reflection. We walk alongside each student, helping them discover their unique role in their faith journey and encourage them to grow spiritually.
  • Throughout the year, our youth participate in mission trips, retreats, and choir tours that allow them to use their talents and time in service to others. These experiences not only enrich their spiritual lives but also provide opportunities to make a tangible difference in the lives of others. Additionally, our youth regularly serve in the Children's Ministry during seasonal events and Vacation Bible School (VBS), continuing the cycle of mentorship and service.
  • We encourage our youth to explore service areas that align with their passions. Many of our students have even started their own ministries, both within the church and in the larger community, exemplifying leadership compassion, and a commitment to making a difference. 

Volunteer Needs

  • Middle Sunday School teacher: Join a team of dedicated adults to lead and teach the Middle School Sunday School class. This is a wonderful opportunity to invest in the spiritual growth of our youth.
  • Adult chaperone / supervision: Assist with providing supervision during youth events, outings, and trips. Your presence will help ensure a safe and positive environment for the youth.
  • Provide food: Help by providing breakfast snacks for Sunday School or preparing Sunday night dinners for the youth group. Sharing a meal is a great way to build community.
  • Join Our Leadership Team: Are you passionate about making a difference? We are looking for dedicated individuals to serve on our leadership team! By serving monthly, you'll play a key role in helping plan, organize, and ensure the ministry stays on track. Whether you bring fresh ideas or simply have a heart ready to serve, we'd love to have you as part of the team. You involvement can help make a lasting impact in our ministry and community.
