Grace United Methodist Youth is a place where youth can come as they are in an environment that promotes the love of God and the love of neighbor. We invite youth in grades 7 through 12 to join us. Our regularly scheduled events are:

• Sunday Night Methodist Youth Fellowship [5:30 to 7:30 p.m.] – Sunday Night MYF includes a “snack” supper at 7:00 p.m. provided by one of our parents, games, and lessons relevant to our daily lives. The schedule of parents providing snack suppers is now listed directly on the church calendar during our Sunday Night MYF time slot.
• Wednesday Night Methodist Youth Fellowship [6:30 to 7:30 p.m.] – Wednesday Night MYF will resume on February 24.
• Sunday School [9:45 to 10:30 a.m.] – Sunday School is a great time to share with other youth about your week, pray, study the Bible, and learn about loving God and neighbor.

The Grace Youth Group also has its own praise band.
