Youth Group

Youth grades 6-12,
meet every other Sunday (with a few breaks)
from 6:00-7:30 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 year-round.
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.
