Youth Activities

St. Matthew's has a dynamic Youth program. Our youth always have something new and exciting going on. Come on over and check it out!

UMYF (United Methodist Youth Fellowship)

Youth grades 6-12 meet weekly on Sundays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The group grows in faith through a variety of fellowship, worship, and active learning experiences. The group usually meets in the upstairs Youth Room in the Oliver Building, or in the Fellowship Hall, with occasional activities off campus. Many additional activities are planned throughout the year including lock-ins, retreats, district rallies, summer camp, praise band, and mission opportunities. The group is open to members and nonmembers alike, and visitors are always welcome.

Youth Missions

Annual Youth Mission Trips include service projects, fellowship activities, and praise and worship services. Middle School ages have participated in Big House mission trips in the summer, while High School aged youth have worked with the U.M. Army. Our youth also take part in other missions as they come up during the year.

Summer Youth Camps

Each summer, Youth from our church join with over 600 of their peers in an inspiring and exciting Youth Camp in the beautiful piney woods at Lakeview Methodist Campgrounds, near Palestine, Texas. Summer camp is for Youth entering 5th through 12th grades.

Confirmation Class

Sixth grade students meet with the Senior Pastor on Sunday afternoons for a period of weeks during the school year. These classes lead each youth to form a personal faith decision as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. A tailored program is also available for older youth who wish to become church members.

Youth-Led Worship

On several occasions during the year, the Youth plan and lead special Worship services. This is regularly done on Easter, with an Easter Sunrise service. A youth-led Advent service starts off the Christmas season, usually in the first week of December.
