Youth Ministries

1 Timothy 4:12 Youth Group

The middle and high school students at Bainbridge FUMC are a vital component of our faith community.  We attempt to combine faith, study, service, fellowship, and life in general into one great ministry.  Through our widely popular small group studies on Wednesday evenings to our fun and fellowship events on Sunday evenings, or even the well known Youth Choir, there’s always something happening and if you’re a Middle or High School student, you’re always invited.

​Sunday Mornings

Jr. High Sunday School Class​

• Jr. High (6th – 8th Grades):  Each week our Jr. High class meets together to discuss ways in which Jesus Christ desires to be the center of their life.  During this time we discuss important topics, such as: God’s Big Story; Who is God; The Life of Jesus; Family Matters; and Pain and Struggles.  This class is taught by Melodee Loeffler along with a team of volunteers and is the perfect place for your Jr. High student to quickly become acquainted with our teens and programs.

Sr. High Sunday School Class

• Sr. High (9th – 12th Grades): Each Sunday morning our Sr. High youth gather in our Sunday School Building to learn and grow in God’s Word. We discuss a wide range of topics that affect our youth in today’s society. This class is led by Steve Reynolds along with a team of volunteers. Come join us as we take time to learn and grow in God’s Word.

UMYF - United Methodist Youth Fellowship

United Methodist Youth Fellowship or UMYF is a great way to meet friends, grow in your faith and to experience what it is like to be a part of a church family! This program is geared mostly towards fellowship. It’s a laid-back kind of time where we learn about God together, invest in our relationships with each other, and best of all have a fun time!!!
​
UMYF meets from 6:00pm-7:00pm on Sunday night in the Youth Basement and is open to all middle school and high school students.

Summer Camps at Epworth By The Sea

Someone once said that kids can learn more about their relationship with Jesus in a week of camp than they might in a year of Sunday School. Because of that, we take our time with our campers very seriously. Days are filled with outdoor activities like the ropes course, boat rides, dock fishing, games, art, beach trips and pool time. Nightly camp-wide competitions bring everyone together and each evening closes with a worship service. Woven throughout each of these activities is a greater purpose—sharing Christ's love with every camper we encounter.
 
Each week of summer camp costs $315. 
 
HIGH SCHOOL CAMP for students entering grades 9-12 as well as graduating seniors 
June 11-15, 2018 (Deadline: May 29)
 
MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPS for students entering 6th-8th grades
Session 1: June 18-22, 2018 (Deadline: June 4)
