Ignite Youth

What is UMYF?

The United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF) is offered as a place where youth can get to know God, themselves, and each other better.

The group is open to any and all 6th-12th graders. UMYF consists of time for study, service and fellowship. The leaders are Matt, Lovena, Ryan and Brandy.

It's our vision for the United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF) of Walmsley Boulevard United Methodist Church, we hope to provide an open and loving environment for all YOUth where they can be themselves. A comfortable atmosphere will allow for dialogue among the YOUth concerning issues of faith and spirituality as well as daily living.

We also hope to provide spiritual education for all YOUth, enabling them to live Christian lives and share the gospel. We seek ways to be of service to our church and the surrounding community in order to show God's love and restore people's faith in themselves and in others.

Our goal for UMYF fosters a comfortable environment for spiritual growth. We explore how religion and social issues come together, looking for ways to stay true to our faith and to be inclusive of all people. Through UMYF, we desire to invite, receive, and introduce YOUth to Christ, nurture them in discipleship while addressing their needs and hurts, and send them out as Christian disciples to invite others on their journey and to help relieve suffering in this community and the world.
