Welcome to St Mark’s United Methodist Church, where we are passionate about nurturing the spiritual growth of our congregation, particularly the younger members of our community. Our Children, Youth, and Family Ministries provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for children and young adults to engage with their faith and beliefs.
Engaging Programs and Activities
Our ministry offers a wide range of engaging programs and activities designed to meet the spiritual needs of children, youth, and families. We believe in providing a comprehensive framework that encourages personal growth, social connection, and a deepening understanding of one's faith.
Sunday School
Our Sunday School program is tailored for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. Through interactive lessons, engaging storytelling, and hands-on activities, we aim to make learning about the Bible and Christian values an enjoyable experience. Our dedicated teachers guide children on their journey of exploring their faith and understanding the importance of moral principles in their lives.
Youth Group
The Youth Group at St Mark’s United Methodist Church is a vibrant community where teenagers can come together, connect, and grow spiritually. Our Youth Group sessions provide a safe space for teenagers to discuss relevant topics, share their experiences, and strengthen their relationships with both their peers and God. We organize inspiring retreats, engaging workshops, and meaningful service projects that empower young individuals to make a positive impact on their community.
Fostering Family Bonds
We understand the significance of family in nurturing spiritual development. Our ministry recognizes the importance of strong family bonds and actively works to support and strengthen these connections.
Family Worship Services
Our regular family worship services provide an opportunity for families to come together and worship as a unit. These services incorporate elements that resonate with people of all ages, making it a meaningful experience for the whole family. We encourage families to participate in these services and create lasting memories through shared spiritual experiences.
Family-Focused Events
Throughout the year, we organize a variety of family-focused events that cater to different age groups and interests. From picnics and game nights to parenting workshops and holiday celebrations, there is something for everyone in St Mark’s United Methodist Church community. These events provide opportunities for families to connect with others, share experiences, and grow in their faith together.
Community Outreach and Service
We believe in living out our faith by serving others and making a positive impact on the world around us. Our Children, Youth, and Family Ministries actively engage in community outreach initiatives to instill the value of compassion and social responsibility in our younger generation.
Mission Trips
Through our mission trips, we encourage children and youth to step out of their comfort zones and engage in service to those in need. These transformative experiences allow participants to witness firsthand the power of empathy, love, and compassion in changing lives. We collaborate with local organizations and participate in both local and international mission trips, providing opportunities for personal growth and spiritual development.
Service Projects
In addition to mission trips, we organize various service projects throughout the year, enabling children, youth, and families to make a difference in their community. From volunteering at homeless shelters to participating in environmental conservation initiatives, these projects foster a sense of responsibility and inspire a commitment to serving others.
