A place where YOU belong.
We are a close-knit group of 7-12th learning to better love Jesus and each other.
About Us
The transition from kid to adult is tough enough. Refuge Youth Group provides a place where you can be real and learn about a God who is present and active in your real life.
We gather together Sunday mornings for Youth Sunday school (9:45-10:45 am), Sunday evenings during the school year for Refuge Youth Group (6-8pm), and various activities and trips throughout the year. Each year during the week between Christmas and New Years, we take a trip for fun and service, and in the summer, we take either a domestic or international mission trip.
Your (mostly) Fearless Leaders
Steven Shade and Kristen Howell are beginning their 8th year of youth ministry at FUMC and have been friends for nearly as long when Kristen decided they would be. They share a love of nerd-adjacent activities, sensible shoes, and, most importantly, Jesus.
Follow Jesus
Experiencing Jesus’ radical love changes the way we think, speak, work, and treat others. Also, Jesus was a fan of food and naps and we like those things, too.
Experience Community
We are a group of 7-12th graders (and their super cool leaders, we swear), from different schools, backgrounds, and interests.
Be Yourself
Your youth leaders are super excited to love you exactly as you are! No masks required… unless there’s another pandemic. (too soon?)
Share God’s Love
Loved people love people. We serve our church, our local community, and the world.

7-12 Graders will have stand-alone lessons for the foreseeable future so it won’t impact your ability to keep up if you can’t make it every week! We will focus on subjects important to the spiritual life such as Sabbath rest, forgiveness, love, etc.
Sunday school runs year-round and will continue even after youth group is over for the year.
