About our youth
Our youth group consists of adolescents from fifth grade to incoming twelfth grades or from ages 11 to 18. Antioch United Methodist Church and our youth and children's ministries is dedicated to the development of all youth and children who step through our doors for the enrichment of their mind, spirit, soul, and body. We as a ministry are concerned and are active in fostering the creativity and curiosity unique to each individual child and directing his and her spiritual focus onto God through a lens of Biblical scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. This model is known to the Wesleyan Methodist tradition as the Wesleyan Quadrilateral.
Our youth meetings typically are fashioned through an experience-based learning approach where students are engaged in an activity, experience, or personal exercise and then asked purposeful questions of reflection and analysis that allow each youth to essentially learn for themselves. Lessons are then concluded through Biblical teaching that reinforces the exercise and challenge each youth's personal beliefs. Antioch UMC Youth is actively involved through their own planning of many youth meetings, mission trips, fundraisers, and fellowship events. We believe that adolescents that are actively involved in their own spiritual formation through their autonomous efforts in planning are more likely to mature in their faith and are more likely to establish themselves in leadership roles in a faith community as adults. |
