Welcome to Lakewood Youth!
Thank you for your interest in Youth Ministries at Lakewood UMC! Our goal is to provide a safe place for our present and future church (our youth!) to grow in fellowship through learning and sharing their love for Jesus, our community, each other, and themselves. We have lots of events and programs to plug into. Join us!
Our mission is to become the living light of Christ by listening, learning, and sharing our story through serving our community.
Our vision is to be an open fellowship of young disciples on a mission to change the world for Jesus Christ.

Sundays
Sunday Morning Youth L.I.F.E. Groups
Sunday Mornings we gather in the youth space at 10am. We have a devotional and share our highs and lows from our week as well as something we’re thankful for. We share together a love feast consisting of donuts and juice to remind us that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us and we should look to Him and give thanks and praise in all circumstances.
Sunday Night Live is the Lakewood Youth "Main Event,” at 5-7pm! At SNL, all get to eat and spend time with our friends as well as varied worship experiences and fun events. Check our calendar to see what’s coming up!
