Youth Ministries
 |
|
Youth ministry is a large part of what we do here at WUMC. Our dedication to youth was reflected when, in 2005, we purchased the property at 155 E. Main Street. The building underwent a total renovation and became our youth center, known as The Bait Shop at Shipley’s Crossing. |
All students in grades 6-12 are welcomed to participate in youth gatherings and events. “Membership” at WUMC is not required. For trips, a current Information and Medical Release Form is required to be on file.

|
HIGH TIDE, for middle and senior high school students, meets in The Bait Shop on Sunday evenings from 4:30 to 6:00 PM. All youth are invited. Grow closer to God, spend time with friends, participate in service to others, and have fun! Twice a month there is youth-led praise and worship music. |
COUNCIL of YOUTH MINISTRIES
This youth-led council coordinates youth participation in the life of the church. All youth are invited to participate on the council. They meet in The Bait Shop at 6 PM on the second Sunday of each month.
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH AT WUMC

YOUTH SUNDAY -

ROCK is an exciting Christian weekend retreat in which youth in grades 6-12 from the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church will gather at the Ocean City Convention Center.
