Confirmation	(8th Grade or Older) The goal of confirmation is to have each youth commit to a real and personal faith, cherish the rich heritage we have as United Methodists, and build relationships with those who will support them in their faith. We are solidifying what parents, families, church and God have done before. Classes begin in January and run through April on Sunday aftermoon from 4:00-5:00 PM or schedule a make up session.
Sunday School	(Grades 6-12, Year Round) Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m., scripture is made more accessible to youth in an interactive and relevant way with curriculum that is timely and relevant to their lives. Communion is served the first Sunday of each month. The group meets in the Sanctuary for worship on the second Sunday of each month and in the Family Life Center the other Sundays.
Youth Praise Band	Our musically inclined youth have formed their own Praise Band to perform at youth Sunday School as well as some of our Worship Services. They practice in the Family Life Center on Sunday morning 11:15-11:45 AM.
Sunday Youth Groups	(Grades 6-12, During the School Year) Middle Youth Fellowship (MYF) and Senior Youth Fellowship (SYF) activities are centered around the idea of living the faith by having fun, eating, hanging out and building relationships with one another. Both groups meet in the Family Life Center. A lite supper is served and meets on Sundays from 5:00-6:30 PM.

Youth Mission Trips	Each year, the senior-high youth, grades 9 through 12, have the opportunity to be a part of a week-long mission trip outside of our home community through a program called YouthWorks! Our 8th Grade Confirmation students can take part in a local weekend-mission trip called the “Omaha Urban Plunge.” Grades 6 and 7 focus on local day-mission work.
Share Your Talents	Youth are invited to serve by participating in our Worship Services too. You can share your musical talent, your friendly smile, your oratory skills or your technical prowess. Visit our Hospitality and Worship Ministries pages to see all the ways you can get involved. We need you!
