Youth Ministry
Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.”
1 Timothy 4:12
The youth of our community are very important to Blackman United Methodist Church. We have a full time youth minister and an amazing group of volunteers that lead our youth group. Our goal is to partner with parents in walking alongside your student as they become a disciple of Jesus and a disciple maker for the kingdom. We are committed to offering safe environments for your students to connect in Christian community and grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Our current student opportunities are:
Sunday Mornings in person: 9:45-10:30am
For High School Mission: This summer, our high school students will be partnering with Lakewood United Methodist Church of Houston on a mission trip to DeRidder, Louisiana from June 20-27. We will be serving at UM ARMY to repair homes for those in need and staying at DeRidder FUMC.
Students must have just completed 9th-12th grade to be eligible for this trip. The cost for the trip is $199. Scholarships are available so money is never a reason not to go! Students must have a completed parent consent form on file to attend this trip. Please contact James Richards for information on scholarships and family discounts available.
