Each month sees the youth involved in our worship services as well as special activities. The Youth meet in the developing Youth Center on the third floor of the Sanctuary and Educational buildings of our Church. Special happenings include Sanctified Skiing, helping lead in the Wednesday evening informal worship services, developing inclusive volley ball teams, as well as teaching youth to serve in many areas from operating public address systems to helping on special mission teams to help other people outside of the Church. The mission outreach of our church is developing a strong emphasis on personal involvement. We have developed teams going to Central America, Bosnia, Russia, as well as in Oklahoma City to help in short term work.
Some teams are construction teams, and others help with education.
We try to encourage our members to support those who can go for one to three weeks on a Volunteer in Mission effort so we are a team of the larger congregation involved in helping people. We help support a United Methodist Missionary team of Glenn and Darla Rowley in Senegal. Senegal is a nation without a Christian presence, being a predominant Muslim nation. Glenn and Darla have two children and have been in Senegal for a year after two years of intensive language and culture preparation. To learn more about Senegal and the initiative of which they are a part, please visit the Global Watch web site.
