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 MINISTRY

Pat Bray has accepted the position of Director of Youth Ministry. He is a highly talented and passionate leader with a strong background in ministry and student leadership. His experience as a previous youth intern at First Methodist, as well as his roles as chaplain for the Business School and Sports Ministry at Baylor, and his upcoming Master of Divinity degree from Truett Seminary, make him a great fit for the Director of Youth Ministry. His energy and dedication will surely have a positive impact on the youth and the broader church community.

Parents! We have 3 open slots in May that will serve as a practical and spiritual way to meet the needs of students in our Youth Program.

During midweek our meals are provided by the wonderful Ms.Cari. However, after midweek, BRIDGE still continues and meals are still eaten! We would love to have some of these meals provided either by you as individual families or as Sunday School classes. You can sign-up to provide a meal with the "Meal Train" link below.

If it is easier, you can email Pat ([email protected]) to sign-up for a meal or ask questions as well!
