Youth | UMYF |
The United Methodist Youth Fellowship at Hayes Barton seeks to shape a Christ-centered ministry in which the youth of our church and community may participate. With the understanding that the Church is the body of Christ at work in the world, we hope to bring young persons to a new encounter with Jesus Christ, through a ministry of sharing and caring. We try to foster this attitude in all aspects of our youth program: a weeknight Bible study for youth; a regular Sunday evening youth program and light dinner; two annual beach retreats (one in conjunction with the Sunday school); service and mission projects; special events; conference programs; and parent-teen activities. In these ways we seek to nurture youth in the Christian faith and draw them closer to the grace of the living Christ. The UMYF is an accepting, caring community within the church, seeking to meet and minister to youth where they need it most -- right where they are. Then they can grow in the accepting and forgiving love of God.
