Youth Group

Youth grades 6-12,
meet every Sunday (with a few breaks)
from 6:30-7:30 PM
in the church sanctuary through the end of the school year.

We will have at least one mission activity and one social activity each month during the school year.
These activities are for both middle- and high-school students.
Please come and join us, and bring a friend!
If you are interested in joining an activity, text Courtney at 515-619-3968.

Area youth in middle- or high-school are invited to participate in both mission projects and fellowship fun.
You need not be a church member to join us,
and we welcome youth who wish to participate in a specific event
even if they do not regularly attend our meetings.
However, we do need to know in advance if you want to join us for a project or outing.

What We Do at the Van Meter UMC Youth Group

This is a time of thoughtful discussion, fellowship, service, and fun for youth in grades 6-12.
Our past activities included missions work, outdoor adventures, weekly meetings, lock-ins,
Christian concerts, fund-raising, and church potlucks.
In years past, our missions work included collecting items for women's shelters,
helping at an animal shelter, and serving supper for the homeless.
