Youth
Youth
Youth ministries at Lovely Lane UMC range from 6th Grade to 12th grade.
Middle School Sunday School
at 9:15 am we have a class for Middle School. The lessons are hands-on learning, sometimes in the kitchen cooking and tasting, and sometimes behind the video camera giving a modern spin to an old, old story.
Youth Group
Youth Group for middle school and high school meets weekly from 6 pm to 7:30 pm on Sundays and is for youth grades 6-12. We rotate between games, lessons, service, and experiencing various spiritual practices. Our youth group participates in service projects and fundraisers, and every summer we take a pilgrimage mission trip. We’ve been to Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota, Louisiana, and Colorado so far! For more information contact Pastor Kristina, kristina@lovelylane.org.
Confirmation
Happening every other year, youth in 7th and 8th grade are invited to participate in Confirmation Class. It meets every Wednesday evening from September through April from 6:00-7 PM. Our curriculum is broken into 4 main sessions: Love God, Love Self, Love Others, and Mentoring. Throughout the year, each class session will be based in one of these 4 main areas, focused on a lesson, a spiritual practice, a service opportunity, and a session with their mentor. Lessons span over doctrine and theology, the history of the United Methodist Church, and spirituality. Additionally, the youth go on field trips to experience a wide variety of different worship communities, go on a fall retreat, and participate in service opportunities in the city. Each student will have a personal faith mentor to round out the experience. The next Confirmation class will take place during the 2025-2026 school year.
