A Place to Belong
The youth ministry at Clarkston United Methodist Church is dedicated to creating a welcoming community where students in 6th through 12th grade can explore their faith, develop authentic relationships, and discover their God-given purpose.
We believe that the teenage years are crucial for faith development, and we're committed to walking alongside students as they navigate life's challenges and discover what it means to follow Jesus in today's world.
Faith
We create space for authentic spiritual growth through Bible study, worship, prayer, and honest conversations about faith.
Community
We foster genuine relationships where students feel known, accepted, and valued for who they truly are.
Purpose
We empower students to discover their gifts and use them to serve others locally and globally.
Youth Programs
We offer age-appropriate ministries for both middle school and high school students
High School Ministry (9th-12th Grade)
High school students today face unique challenges and opportunities as they navigate their faith, identity, and future. Our high school ministry provides a genuine community where teens can dive deep into their faith journey, ask tough questions, and discover what it means to follow Jesus in their daily lives. Through dynamic teaching, meaningful worship, and real conversations, we create space for students to encounter God and grow stronger in their faith.
High school students gather to deepen their faith, build community, and discuss how their faith connects to daily life. Programs include worship, small groups, games, and special events.
Life-changing opportunities for high school students to serve others, grow in their faith, and experience different communities. Both local and regional trips are offered throughout the year.
A special journey for 8th graders to explore their faith, learn about Methodist traditions, and make a personal commitment to follow Christ. Includes classes, mentorship, and a confirmation service.
