Memorial United Methodist
Youth
“love God, love people, have fun!”
Welcome
We’re a group of middle and high school students (6th–12th grade) right here in Thomasville, NC. Every week we hang out, grow in faith, encourage each other, and do life together.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been in church forever, if you’re just curious about God and the Bible, or if you’re not sure what you believe—you belong here! We’re part of the United Methodist Church, but you don’t have to be Methodist (or even Christian) to come. Just bring an open mind and a respectful heart, and we’ll do the same.
About Us
At Memorial Youth, we believe following Jesus is best … living it … together! Our mission is simple:
Serve God. We grow closer to God through worship, prayer, and learning from Scripture. Love People. We practice kindness, service, and friendship inside and outside our group.
Have Fun. Joy is a big part of who we are! We laugh, play, and share life along the way.
We’re a group of about 25–35 students who meet weekly to hang out, play games, and explore faith in a safe and welcoming environment.

(Typlically) Meets in the dining room in the CEC.
This is a great chance to visit and see what we are about. We do a variety of activities on Sunday Nights such as local service projects, purely fun outings, funny games, and meaningful discussions. We typically serve food and work hard to include everyone!
YOUTH GROUP

Meets on the second floor of the CEC (during the school year) Find out your friends are doing and to get some support for yourself as well. Each week we share the same 3 questions: What is your HIGH POINT for the week? What is your LOW POINT for this week? and Where did you SEE GOD this week? We also pray for one another!
