Children's Ministries

First Church's ministry to families is rooted in its ministry to children.

Safe Sanctuaries

Our Annual Conference has mandated that our churches participate in "Safe Sanctuaries," a program designed to protect our children and youth. In past years we have developed statements of support. This year we will ask everyone who participates in activities (teaching, helping, serving) for our children and youth to participate in a training event and apply for Act 33/34 clearances.

Scouting (FUMC has a Boy Scout Troop that meets here.)

LOGOS ~ Young Disciples Club

Young Disciple’s Club is a ministry that engages our young people in the life of the church by giving them opportunities to:

Build & develop loving, nurturing relationships with other children and adults. As a result, children are loved and accepted for just being themselves.
Experience Christian fellowship through creative recreational activities, group study of contemporary & Biblical values, and sharing a meal.
Learn & practice what it means to be a “Child of God” and a disciple of Christ.

“BONES”: The Structural Elements of our Ministry
– Refreshed & Refined!!

Christ-Centered Everything we say and do in this program is guided by the example of Jesus Christ.

Authentic Relationships Everyone strives to intentionally model Christ-like relationships in the

way they think, care, and decide about others.

Called to Serve The process of call is used to staff this Ministry.

Worship Everyone participates in weekly worship.

Four Parts Students participate in all parts of this ministry, every week.

Clergy Support There is ongoing clergy leadership and participation.

Youth Intentionally Ministry with youth is where the accumulated effects of this system of Christian Nurture reach their fullest potential.

Weekly Bridge It is our hope that this ministry will bridge the relational gap between weekly worship and gives Christian focus to everyday life.

Family Investment This ministry is supported by fees paid by participating families. Parents make a commitment to an annual meeting and to the weekly ministry.

In local churches, LOGOS ministry teams build inter-generational relationships between our young people and caring Christian adults through a four-part weekly agenda.

Camping

Each summer, the church provides access and support for elementary and youth members to attend events planned at Camps Allegheny, Jumonville, and Wesley Woods, as well as specialized trip camps. The Church pays a portion of the fees. For more information on our conference camps, click on the links below.

Check out the Wesley Woods website at www.wesleywoods.com.

Wesley Woods's Mission Statement is: "to meet the spiritual needs of children, youth, and adults in a Christian camp or retreat setting."

Tremendous and beautiful things happen at camp, and you'll want to join in on the fun to see what God has in store for you!!

For more information or if you need help with financing (don't let the cost keep you from going to camp), please contact Heidi Ketzko through the church office at 814-723-4930.
