We are a God-centered, Jesus-focused, and Holy Spirit-led youth group where ALL are welcome. Our core theme is “Love One Another” (LOA!) and we want every youth to feel they belong.

Youth Events
Youth Christmas Tree Pre-Sale: Help us get a head start on this year’s Christmas tree sale by pre-ordering your North Carolina-grown Christmas tree, wreath, or garland now! To ensure we don’t have a surplus of leftover trees, we will only accept pre-orders this year. We will not sell walk-up trees. Orders will be available for pickup December 3-5. Proceeds support Youth summer mission trips. Please help us spread the word by sharing with friends.

FAQs
Can non-members attend/go on trips?
Yes! We love when friends join us for any regular programming, event, retreat, or mission trip. While some of these open to certain groups of people first (example: Beach Retreat opens to high schoolers in small groups first) everything we do as a Youth Ministry is open to all.
What does Confirmation look like for Youth Ministry?
For MPUMC Youth, Confirmation is a year-long process for 8th graders. Youth are assigned a 8-10 person small group with two adult mentors from our church. Throughout the year Youth enjoy two overnight retreats, fellowship gatherings, a Confirmation journal, and excellent discussions to deepen their faith journeys.
What resources are available to our family?
You can check out recommended Devotionals, Theology Discussion Guides, Developmental Guides, Books, and more in our Parent Resource Center on the 2nd floor of the Center of Hope.
