Welcome!
Youth
Youth are not the future of the church, they are part of the church! We strive to make sure youth feel welcome in all aspects of church life! Our youth group meets Sunday afternoons from 6-7 PM (Labor Day - Memorial Day), Sunday mornings during Sunday school (year round) and for special events throughout the year.

Youth ministry meets on Sunday Evenings (the Sunday after Labor Day through the Sunday before Memorial Day) from 6:00 - 7:00 PM for a time of worship, dinner and small groups! We have two small groups for youth:
Magnify - Middle School Youth
Magnify is a group where youth learn how to magnify their faith in God by learning more about the Bible and what we believe as United Methodist Christians

Instead of Pilgrimage 2021, which relocated to Rocky Mount, we are hosting our own youth retreat experience. We cherish the memories we have of heading to Fayetteville, NC in the fall for Pilgrimage experiences planned and hosted by the North Carolina Conference of United Methodist Churches (NCCUMC). These events have been transformative in the lives of so many youth and we are so grateful for the work that Christ has been able to do through the ministry of Pilgrimage. This year we are doing something new. We believe that our youth need to be filled with positive, orthodox, evangelical Christian messages to empower and equip them to follow Jesus in an ever changing world. We believe that what our youth group needs to restart this fall after a long season of socially distanced ministry is a trip that will unite us in our faith and build us up for discipleship and service. In order to accomplish these goals, we have decided that we need to build our own trip with our own programming and teaching instead of relying on teaching and programming that is planned and provided by the NCCUMC Pilgrimage team. We intend to use our time together both on our trips and during Sunday evening programming to tackle relevant contemporary issues balanced by timeless truths from scripture. We have chosen the weekend after Pilgrimage for our event and we are aware that there are some individuals who may choose to continue to attend Pilgrimage, even though Pilgrimage is not one of our FUMCMHC Youth Trips. Those who choose to do so will need to make their own plans and accommodations. We hope that we will have a huge number of youth to make plans to attend our FUMCMHC Youth Fall Retreat Weekend. We are looking forward to this new opportunity for our youth. Please note that this decision about Pilgrimage is for this year and is not a permanent decision about the future of attending Pilgrimage events hosted by NCCUMC. This decision was made prayerfully by the Youth Ministry Leadership Team which is made up of the adults who volunteer their time on Sunday evenings, your FUMCMHC Pastors, and Waylon Bell. Those who have questions or comments are welcome to reach out to Pastor Powell, Pastor Sarah, or Waylon Bell.
