Youth Ministries

Jr & Sr High (grades 6th – 12th)

We focus on building Christ centered relationships through fellowship with one another, discussions, and bible studies focusing on how to live our faith and grow together. We know that we are flawed people and are trying to figure out how to live a Christian life in a secular world.


Sunday School

The junior and senior high meet regularly on Sunday mornings. They are biblically based overview classes that are appropriate for new or long time Christians. These are focused on learning basic biblical principles that can help us become more biblically based. Sundays / 9:45 – 10:45 am / Rooms 104 & 105


Bible Study

Wednesday night bible study is a more in depth continuation of Sunday mornings. This allows students that want to gain a more in depth understanding of the bible and are really serious about their Christian walk.  Wednesdays/ 6:30 – 7:30 pm / Rooms 104 & 105


Youth Group

Youth Group is a time for fellowship with other Christians. We have snacks together as a group, and then dive into conversations about what is happening in the world around us. This helps to find ways to live out our faith in a world that is not very open to Christian values while building a core group of lasting relationships. Sundays / 5:00 –

7:00 pm / Gathering Area


Youth Booster Club

Meets regularly to discuss fundraising ideas which will help our youth group reach their potential in Christ.


Senior High Mission Trip

The purpose of mission work, beyond the obvious benefits to being in mission, is to provide a sense of sacrifice and perspective on life as well as grow relationships in the youth group. Watch for information on the 2012 Mission Trip.


Fundraising

It takes money to go on trips so fundraising becomes a part of our life together as a youth group. Participating in fundraising can have its own ministry benefits beyond the money raised. Through these events we allow the larger church to know the young people of the church as well as build relationships within the group.


Junior High Camping Experience

Our Jr High Youth attend camp as a group during the summer. Watch for information on 2012 Jr High Summer Camp.


Permission/Liability Release Form

This form is necessary to have on hand for all youth functions. By keeping an up to date form on file, we will always be ready for every activity, and if there was an emergency, it would give leadership at Shiloh UMC consent to treat your child as well as up to date insurance information. Without having one, it could delay receiving medical attention as by law we must have consent by a child’s legal guardian. There is information about permitting the church to use your child’s image in church related materials. This document allows church leadership to be made aware of any health issues or allergies that could impact your child. If you have any questions about this document, please feel free to contact Pastor Tony so that any concerns may be addressed.

Download the Permission/Liability Form.


Please check the bulletin and read information mailed to your home for updates.
