Our Youth Ministry is a welcoming community where students experience God’s grace, grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, serve others, and become disciples of Jesus Christ who seek to love God and love their neighbors.

We are passionate about creating a place where every student feels seen, valued, encouraged, and connected.

What We Value

We pursue a deeper faith in Christ through worship, Scripture, prayer, and discipleship.

Living Out Our Faith

Serving Others with Purpose

Our youth ministry encourages students to put faith into action by serving others in practical and meaningful ways. Through outreach opportunities, volunteer projects, and church involvement, students learn how to love God and love their neighbors through service.

More Than a Ministry

A Place Where Students Can Be Themselves

We believe students need a safe and encouraging environment where they can have fun, ask questions, build friendships, and discover what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Whether attending for the first time or growing up in church, every student is welcomed into a community that values authenticity, faith, and connection.

Who We Are

Building Faith and Community Together

Youth ministry at Pineville First United Methodist Church is about more than activities and events. It is about helping students build authentic relationships, ask meaningful questions, grow spiritually, and discover their purpose in Christ.

Through worship, fellowship, service, Bible study, and shared experiences, we strive to create a Christ centered environment where students can grow in faith while building lasting friendships.
