Youth Ministry Faith Harbor UMC

Grades 6 – 12

In our youth programs, we strive to provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere where teens can come together in fun and fellowship as they grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. We at Faith Harbor are all about being a beacon of hope, being anchored in Christ, and being active in service in our community. All youth, grades 6-12, can participate in our youth programs.

Our Wayfinders and Navigators have the chance to learn about Christ, about themselves as children of God, and how we can all grow as disciples of Jesus. Diving deeper into the Word helps our youth be prepared for the challenges they face in school and prepares them to defend the faith under the most difficult circumstances they will face.

We have tons of fun, whether playing games at The Reef, hanging out by the fire, adventuring out for day and overnight trips, or serving on mission trips. Friendships are formed and strengthened each time, and we learn more about Jesus week by week.

LEADERSHIP
Youth Groups are led by our Youth Minister and Youth Council, as well as loving, parent and adult volunteers from our church. Because we take youth protection seriously, our volunteers are screened and trained in Safe Sanctuary practices.
