Youth for Grades: 5-8

 

We are starting something new and exciting at Carrollton First UMC! A brand new youth program is beginning to take shape to include our children within (and outside) the church in grades 5-8.

 

This will not be another average pizza and game night, with a 5-minute devotion. We are reimagining youth entirely to create a discipling culture to model the life that Jesus lived as our ultimate example.

 

On this journey we will be helping our youth discover and recognize their own personal relationship with Jesus Christ, how to build off of that by learning and growing more into a deeper relationship, learning their true giftings and how to use them in real life situations to further God’s kingdom, and equip them to go out and disciple others.

 

You are never too young or too old to be discipled, or disciple others, so we are eager to also involve our parents and other family members in learning and growing with us. We will regularly keep you updated as to what your children are learning. Aside from our youth meetings, we will be holding family meals from time to time, so as a collective we may come together to share our experiences, what we are learning, how we are hearing God, and seeing Him work in our lives or the lives of others, and learn and grow with one another.

 

The entire focus of this ministry will be keeping God’s kingdom at the forefront. Approaching every lesson, situation and life events with God’s kingdom principles as the rulebook, and the Holy Spirit as our guide. God’s will for our lives cannot be accomplished without our ACTION.

 

Please keep an eye out for our first meeting (yet to be determined), and contact Kelsey Pitts with any questions, and/or to sign up your youth! (Please contact through the office at office@carrolltonfirstumc.org) We are beyond excited to start this new adventure with your children!
