Youth Ministry
"I come because it's different from other groups I belong to. It doesn't matter what you are at school; here you can be more like you. It's fun to be together with friends and do the trips, but sometimes there is something more. I can't quite describe it, but that something more is why I keep coming back."

Get on Board: Riding the Wave of Truth and Action
We’re heading back to the 1960’s for a week of study grounded in timeless Christian themes: obedience, kindness, forgiveness, boldness, and belief. For those of us who have learned about the sixties mainly through television, the 1960’s are a montage of social justice movements, idealism, inspirational leaders, the surfer culture in southern California, the hippie culture in northern California, radical new fashions, and rock ‘n’ roll. We’ll be focusing on the abbreviated, television version of the decade, albeit from a distinctly Christian perspective. Join us for the fun-filled week of Scripture, history, and how to apply both to our lives today. Let’s put our faith into action! Adult volunteers are still needed for this week of service and fun! For more information, please contact Cathy Stone, Director of Youth and Family Ministries, at cathy@fumcaustin.org or 478-5684 ext. 215. Registration deadline is July 1, 2008.
