YOUTH MINISTRY
Love God. Love Others.
Youth (6th Grade through 12th Grade)
Senior High School student Eric Morrison preaches on the importance of sharing the gospel through our testimonies. This sermon was given at the Awakening Conference of the Global Methodist Church on February 3, 2024. Many pastors, leaders, members, and friends of the Mid-Tex Conference were in attendance. We’re extremely proud of Eric and encourage you to give his sermon a listen!

SUNDAY NIGHTS
GOAL: TO HONOR GOD
WHAT TO EXPECT: This wild and crazy gathering is simple. We play, eat, and worship! We expect students to invite friends to Sunday night and have structured it to be a gathering that draws students deeper into the life of faith and the church. We get intentional time with middle school on the front end and high school on the back end. Students have opportunities to share their testimonies and lead devotionals. We want every teenager in our city in the house on a Sunday night!
