What's Going on?

The First United Methodist Church of Olympia is committed to providing young people
a place where they feel free to develop and express their faith through friendship, service and learning

Youth Group

For 6th-12th graders.
Youth Group gathers regularly for prayer,
friendship, learning, and service.

Mini Methodists

For 4th-5th graders.
These youth gather at the same
time/location as Youth Group with dedicated
adults and age-appropriate activities.

Mini Methodists and Youth Group strive to be a brave space, open to young people of all gender and sexual
identities, ethnicities, and social economic status. (Written by our MM & YG participants).

CALENDAR

FOR MINI METHODISTS & YOUTH GROUP

In youth ministry, we believe that "nothing without us is for us." Our youth shape their experience of youth ministry each year with the support of the adult youth ministry team. At our recent kick off event the youth decided that for this year we will:

Meet weekly September - November for Affinity Nights
Special outings / activities together
Overnights at the church
Service projects
Serving our local churches as liturgists, acolytes, communion stewards and more.
Join the mailing list or contact Pastor Alexa for the current calendar!

Serving our neighbors is a commitment of our youth ministry! Developing the spiritual practice of serving others in adolescence prepares our minds, hearts and hands to continue a life of service as adults.
