Youth Ministries

A Place to Belong, Grow, and Follow Jesus

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.

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.

More Than a Ministry
