Youth Ministries

"The primary task of youth ministry is to love youth where they are, to encourage them in developing their relationship to God, to provide them with opportunities for nurture and growth, and to challenge them to respond to God’s call to serve in their communities.”

—The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church

Youth Group

Harding Ave. Campus - Downstairs

Youth Group is our weekly time of worship, conversation, food, and games for 6th graders - 12th graders. During the school year, youth meet Sunday nights at 4pm-6:00pm and engage in a conversational message, small groups tailored to grade level and gender, and various games and fun activities.

Mission Trips and Service Projects

Winchester - Virginia Beach - New Orleans - Southport - Charlotte

Gleaning - Wood Splitting - Landscaping - Food Pantry Restocking

Whether in the Blacksburg area or not, our youth often engage with service projects! Over the past several years, we have enjoyed many different mission trips across the country. We regularly travel to Winchester for the Jeremiah Project, a middle school mission camp where youth and adults work to make homes warmer, safer, drier, and more accessible for those in need. Check out this year's mission trips below:
