Youth Ministry
Aldersgate's youth ministry is designed to provide a safe environment with spiritual support for students in grades 6 through 12. Our program provides a variety of ways to give youth opportunities to learn, grow, and make friends.
What We Offer
Youth Activities
Friends are welcome at practically any youth event. If we are leaving the church for an activity, a permission slip on file with the church office is required.
Sunday School
Classes for Middle School (grades 6-8) and High School (grades 9-12) meet in the basement, rooms 16 and 17.
Youth Group
Middle School Youth Group meets 2:30-3:30 p.m., followed by Snack & Yap from 3:30-4:00 p.m., then High School Youth Group from 4:00-5:00 p.m.
Confirmation
Confirmation gives youth the opportunity to explore their faith and decide for themselves what they believe in. Completion also allows youth to become full members of AUMC. This 16-week class runs in both fall and spring. All youth who are currently enrolled in, or have completed, 8th grade are invited.
Youth Praise Band
The high school Youth Praise Band rehearses Sunday afternoons in the sanctuary.
Summer Activities
Regular youth schedule takes a break for summer, but there are several amazing opportunities: summer camp for all ages, local mission opportunities, and mission trips. Visit horizoncenter.org for detailed camp opportunities.
Additional Activities
Lock-ins, mission projects, Youth Sunday, fundraisers, retreats, and summer trips. Friends are welcome at practically any youth event.

Get Involved
Parents & Volunteers
Parents and adult sponsors are the backbone of a thriving youth ministry. There are many ways to get involved.
Parents
Parents are vital to this ministry. On a rotating basis, parents are asked to drive for events, help with fundraisers, stay for lock-ins, open their home for events, or host youth on trips.
Adult Sponsors
Adult sponsors are church members who help lead the youth, plan programs, provide transportation, and sponsor youth trips and activities. Each sponsor focuses on either Middle School or High School.
“Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”
-- 1 Timothy 4:12
