At Grace United Methodist Church, we believe that middle and high school students are a vital part of our congregation.  Our Student Ministry strives to be an invitational and welcoming place for students of all backgrounds where they can find community and a place to belong.  We want to meet students wherever they are in their faith journey, walk alongside them as they grow, and be a safe place where they can ask questions and learn to seek faithful answers. By providing worship, discipleship, and mission opportunities, we aim to help students become mature Christians who transform the world by Loving God and Loving Neighbor.  Join us in on Sunday Mornings or Wednesday evenings to pass the faith to the next generation.

Youth Sunday School:
Middle & High School; 8:45-9:45am (room 208)

It's not easy to stay focused. Especially these days, when we're connected to a never-ending stream of new notifications, ads, messages, videos, posts, and entertainment, it makes sense if we feel a little distracted sometimes. Maybe you've struggled recently to stay focused on your homework, or on the story your friend was telling you, or on the movie you were watching -- but have you ever struggled to stay focused when you were spending time with God? In this series, we're going to get honest about how difficult it can be to stay focused when we're trying to pray, read the Bible, or grow in our faith. Each week, we'll explore passages from Psalms and the Gospels as we challenge ourselves to focus on practicing four spiritual disciplines that can help us grow.
Wednesday Night Youth Group:
Middle & High School; 6:30-7:30pm (room 208)

March 1st: Why Do Christians Have to Follow So Many Rules? -- God's rules are always good for us, and they help us live our best lives. When we love him, we follow his rules not because it's a checklist we're forced to follow, but because we're free to follow in God's steps. God helps us make good choices that will lead to the best result in our lives.
March 8th: Why Does It Seem Like Christians Judge Everyone? -- It's natural to compare oneself to others -- in school, sports, music, any hobbies really. But sometimes it leads us to judge others; and we know that judging others doesn't strengthen relationships.
March 15th: What's Heaven Like, and What Will I Do There? -- God is preparing a special place for us in Heaven; but it's nothing like anything on Earth.

March 22nd: Is It Doing God's Work If We Serve, But Don't Talk About Jesus? -- Speaking is usually the easier way to share a message, but sometimes actions can speak louder than words.
March 29th: Youth Fundraiser at Pizza Ranch -- No Traditional Youth Group this Night
