YOUTH MINISTRY
Love God. Love Others.
Youth (6th Grade through 12th Grade)
WHO WE ARE
First Methodist Waco's Youth Ministry recognizes the importance of these pivotal years for our students. Middle school and high school years come with triumphs and challenges, and we want to be there for students and families at every turn. We pour Jesus into our students, provide a wholesome, safe environment, and provide strong, Christ-like mentors. Every staff and volunteer who works with you has been through our rigorous MinistrySafe process to safeguard your child's welfare. Don't try to parent a teenager alone. Youth belong here.
Director of Youth Ministries
"What's up, my friends! I serve the youth of our church and have a passion for making disciples. When I’m not at church you can find me spending time with family and friends, serving in the community, or doing seminary homework. I hope that our youth ministry can be a beacon of hope for teenagers in our church and in our city who haven't yet met the Lord. See you soon!”
