Schweitzer Youth Ministries
Just a bunch of crazy kids who are sold out for Jesus.
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 9:40am. We open the Youth Area at 9:15 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!
CONFIRMATION CLASS
Our goal for Confirmation at SUMC is for Parents & Students to come to know Jesus Christ in an intimate way and to become Disciples of Jesus Christ through membership at Schweitzer UMC. Confirmation class is at 9:40am on Sunday mornings for 7th & 8th graders during the school year.
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. Click the button below to make sure you're signed up for these can't-miss events!
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.

SUMMER YOUTH MINISTRY
During the summer months, Schweitzer's Youth Ministry provides multiple events & activities for our 7th-12th grade students. These events are designed to keep students engaged with each other over the summer months as school is out and students have more time on their hands.
