Schweitzer Youth Ministries
Just a bunch of amazing students who are sold out for Jesus.
High School Mission Trip
Our High School Missions Trip is an opportunity for high school students to put their faith into action in Denver, CO. We have begun a new with Group Mission Trips, which strongly believes in providing opportunities for teenagers to encounter Jesus through serving others. Our partnership offers our students a seamless experience with meals, worship, church-based small groups, plenty of serve opportunities in Denver and fun evening activities. Sign up quick as this week of community impact will fill up fast.

Wednesday Nights
During the school year, from 6:00 to 8:00pm, there's free dinner, games, worship, and time to hang out as well as small group discussion on various faith topics. Youth will divide into small groups according to their age and gender.
Sunday Mornings
Every Sunday morning, we provide a fun, loving environment at 11:000am. We open the Youth Area at 10:45 on Sunday mornings for some time to relax, grab a coffee or hot chocolate, and chat with your friends. After this, students are divided into small groups of the same grade for relevant Bible teaching. Passionate youth leaders are there to make this a fun and meaningful experience. We can’t wait to see you on Sunday mornings to dive into scripture with us!
OFF-SITE RETREATS
Each year we have a number of different trips that we take with our students—a High School and Middle School Retreat, a High School Mission Trip and Summer Camp.
CONFIRMATION CLASS
Our goal for Confirmation at SUMC is for parents and students to come to know Jesus Christ in an intimate way and to become Disciples of Jesus Christ through membership at Schweitzer. Confirmation Class starts January 12 at 11:00am on Sunday mornings for 8th graders in the Youth Worship Space.
PUPPET MINISTRY
The Puppet Ministry is about praising God and sharing His love with others through puppetry and is a unique way that our youth minister to our younger kids and the community. We perform a show for Christmas, Easter, and a summer show that we take on tour. All youth are welcome. No experience is necessary to join. Practices are Sundays from 6:00 to 7:00pm in the Kids Worship room.
