Praise Band is composed of youth in 7th-12th grades. They practice 5:30 – 6:00 PM on Sunday afternoons. They play once a month at our Contemporary Worship Service.  Praise Band is directed by Jamie Meyer.

Confirmation:
One of the important events as a 7th/8th grader is to participate in Confirmation – a journey through the Christian year, history and beliefs of the United Methodist Church and a personal understanding of what it means to be a part of the church and a child of God. Contact Stephanie Seth for more information.

Small Groups/Bible Study:
Small groups are essential to a relational youth ministry. This is where we really get to know each other and share Christ with each other through study of holy scripture, fun games, food and more. Watch the newsletter for more information.

Mission Experiences:
Separate mission trips are usually planned for Mid-High and Senior High youth. Mission activities normally include painting, construction, Vacation Bible School, etc. Cost of these trips vary depending on location and type of projects. Contact Stephanie Seth 785-266-7541 for information.

Other Events:
Youth also participate in Kansas East Conference and Topeka District events such as Bishop’s Roundup for Hunger, Christians In Action, Spiritual Life Retreat, Mid-High Overnights, a summer camp called Institute and much more. There are also possible ski trips planned at times.
