Youth Ministry at FUMCA
We’ve all been there trying to find our place in this world, trying to find our place within ourselves. We hope, and work really hard, to ensure that teenagers have a home here — a home where they ask the tough questions, ones that leave room for the doubts and the uncertainties, but also the assurance of God’s faith and goodness — a home where they can be themselves and discover all that God has in store for them — a home that makes room for play and fun and is intentional about those teachable moments to help shape a life a faith — a home that knows life has its up and downs but strives to be a stable presence to come alongside the teen, friends and family — in good times and in bad.
Along the way, we look for them to learn about God, themselves, to love and serve others and to love themselves, while being intentional followers of Christ and having a little fun along the way.
Conference Retreats & Trips
Our youth participate in activities and events hosted by the
Louisiana Conference and in partnership with other UMC churches. These may include mission trips, such as Weekend of the Cross, weekend retreats throughout the state, or mountain-top experiences such as Happening. As United Methodist Youth, we are connected to other youth and churches throughout the state, and participating in conference-wide events is a fun way to build relationships outside of our church walls.
Seasonal Youth Activities
Youth enjoy a variety of activities, so in addition to the regular weekly events that are planned, we frequently host lock-ins, retreats, pool parties, and other activities to help build relationships within the group. In addition, our youth frequently help with VBS and Buddy Camp, as well as other ministry areas in the church as needed. In addition, our youth frequently help with various ministry areas and events in the church.

Whatever we do, we have fun, and grow closer in community and closer to Christ. Oh, and there’s generally food to be shared, at least a little.
