YOUTH MINISTRY

The mission of First Methodist Houston youth ministry is to connect young hearts to Christ. We seek to create a Christ centered, dynamic gathering place students and friends that is beloved and shared. Drawing straight from scripture (Acts 2:42-47), our values guide our programming. Everything we “do” can be connected to the following: joy, prayer, table fellowship, worship, mission, Bible study and growth.

THE LINK

THE LINK is our once a month, Sunday afternoon, cross-campus student gathering that seeks to connect young hearts to Christ. Students in grades 6-12 from both campuses gather in the Westchase Youth Assembly Room for table fellowship, Bible study and prayer. Join us as we find new and exciting ways to be "linked" to each other and to God. The bus leaves Downtown at 12:15pm, and we begin with lunch in the Westchase Youth Assembly Room around 12:40pm.

CONFIRMATION

Confirmation is a memorable, faith-building rite of passage for sixth grade students at First Methodist Houston. Actually, there are few things in youth ministry that are as important as Confirmation. When young people claim the name Jesus Christ as their own, it is a holy moment. When parents, youth and a church partner to teach and learn the foundations of the faith, it fulfills vows made at baptisms. Confirmation is truly sacred.

For information about specific Confirmation class schedules, check out the Events Calendar of the website.
