Youth Activities

     All youth in grades 6-12 are invited to be a part of CCUMC's Youth Group. The senior highs meet every Sunday morning at 9:35 in the Youth Room (Room 300) which has a pool table, foosball, and air hockey. The middle schoolers meet in the Rainbow Room (Room 107)  which was recently redecorated with brightly painted walls and comfortable sofas at 9:35. On Sunday mornings they study and have discussions about the Bible, Christian faith, and life.

Special activities are planned about once a month.  Examples include: a Fall

Retreat at West River Camp, aWinter Retreat at Ocean City, events like snow

tubing, movie nights and lock-ins at the church, and a Spring Retreat at Camp

Manidokan. They also participate in service projects such as assembling

Health Kits for disaster relief in places like Haiti and helping to prepare food for

the area homeless for which they can earn Service Learning Hours. They are a

group of caring and welcoming young people who are committed to growing in

their faith, treating one another with respect, and having fun! Our current group

consists of 20-25 youth.

Confirmation Class

Youth who are in 8th grade and above are invited to join a Confirmation Class

with a flexible schedule in the spring.  The youth work at their own pace with

adult mentors.  Class material covers the history and major doctrines of the

United Methodist Church and explores faith on a personal basis.  Upon completion

students are confirmed as members of the church.

Music Opportunities

There are opportunities for youth to perform and lead worship in Faith Chords

and Faith Chords Xtreme.

Acolytes

Youth may assist in the traditional worship service as acolytes.
