Youth Programs
The Oxford UMC Youth Program 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.
