YOUTH! Ministry

Oxford YOUTH! is a multi-faceted effort to provide youth, ages 11 through 20, a place where they can be themselves. Youth can experience agape love, come to have a personal relationship with God, grow their knowledge of the Good News and God's love. They can also learn practical ways of making the faith of their family and church their own by applying that faith to their everyday lives. The Oxford UMC Youth Program is built on three pillars.

Worship - the relationship between God and the individual

Fellowship - the relationship between the individual and the faith of the community.

Outreach - the relationship between the individual and the world at large.

• Quiet Hour - Wednesday, 7:00-8:30 pm in the Youth Room. Jr/Sr. High and College Bible Study covering core Christian beliefs in open, caring, studious (but fun) environment.
• Sunday School - Separate classes for Middle School and High School Youth.
• Confirmation Class - Begins the first Sunday after the Christmas-New Year break for those youth seeking full church membership.
• Youth Group - Regularly scheduled meetings on Sunday 5-6:30 pm. Snack supper served 5:15, recreation 5:30 - 5:50, Program 5:50 - 6:30. Four major programming emphases: Youth Worship, Programs, Serendipity ("fun" stuff), and Service.

In addition to Sunday night meetings, the Oxford YOUTH! holds numerous special events throughout the year including retreats and mission trips. Contact the church at 696-0192 for details on upcoming events.
