Youth Summer Mission
Come Serve with Us!
June 10-16, SOWER Work Mission
@ Epworth Center, Bethesda, Ohio
Week Long Mission Trip Experiences
Every summer the youth immerse themselves into a week long experience of service and fellowship. The work is hands on, reflective of what it means to be the hands & feet of Jesus. Projects range from building wheel chair ramps, to painting houses, and cleaning up Hurricane Katrina storm damage.
All who take part in these trips return changed and the greatest gift is having changed the life of another. Read more: Youth Summer Mission
Youth Ministries
Youth Ministries are devoted to mission, spiritual formation and leadership. We host a variety of activities including: community service, retreats, Youth Worship Sunday, Life Talks & Game Nights, and mission fundraisers. Please view our Monthly Electronic Flier or check Youth News, Messenger or the Sunday bulletin for current information and dates. Friends are always welcome!
Our Purpose:
The purpose of our youth group is to provide a safe harbor for all. We strive to grow in our faith, have fun in fellowship and have a closer walk with God through our mission and compassion to others.
Youth Group is led by a team of youth, grades 7-12, the Youth Associate, and adult advisors. We meet regularly to plan activities and discuss program development. This Leadership Team serves to compliment and provide direction for the vision of the Youth Ministries at Westlake UMC. The Team attends an off-site training retreat yearly. And all youth are welcome to attend meetings.
