FUEL Youth Ministry
Wakefield UMC’s youth ministry invites grades 6th-12th to experience God’s love by building friendships and learning to live in community together. We encourage youth to engage with God and one another through fun games and activities, hanging out and eating together, and learning more about how to live like Jesus. We help strengthen youth’s faith journeys through interactive Bible lessons and small group discussions. We put our faith into action by serving our local community throughout the year.
FUEL on Sunday Evenings.
The Wakefield UMC youth meet on Sunday evenings in the Youth Space in our building from 5:30—7:00PM. Students participate in fun, hands-on activities, small group discussions, mission projects, and dinner is always served!
