United 4 Him Youth Group
Who We Are
We are a group of 6th to 12th grade students who enjoy getting together for fun activities while learning more about the God who uniquely created each of us.
What Do We Do?
Well we’re glad you asked! We are a very active group that loves to hang out and socialize with friends who have similar interests. We sponsor special monthly events that are often some of our best times together. Many of these events happen off campus on some sort of day trip, retreat, concert, sporting event or other creatively planned activities.
Where & When we meet
We meet in the gym (Life Center) of 1st United Methodist Church, 4:00 PM every Sunday night, but we don’t just meet on Sundays. We sponsor lots of events and have fun working and playing together!
We also use game and youth rooms for other fun activities. 1st is located in Punta Gorda at 507 W. Marion Avenue.
Is that it? Is there more?
Yes! There is always more! More food that you can eat, more friends you haven’t met, more opportunities to take trips — like a week at an amazing summer camp. We always plan a major mission trip, too, where we travel to another state for 8, or 9 days each summer. And , we do local service projects right here in our own back yard.
But wait, there’s more…
We love scavenger hunts, noodle soccer, nerf nights, laser tag, ice cream socials, ice skating, bowling, lock-ins, mini-golf, holiday parties (parties plural – we aren’t just talking Christmas either)! We love an excuse to throw a party! Did we mention we have free food?!
Why do we do all this?
There are several reasons some of which just can’t be explained on some web page. You have to experience our programs and activities to know the WHY part. While we can’t describe every detail, it basically comes down to relationships. We form them with new friends, strengthen the friendships we already have and even meet a few trusted adults, that as it turns out, are actually okay, too! Most importantly, we hear stories about the God of the universe and how He wants to have a personal relationship with us.
We sincerely hope you choose to join us for one of our upcoming activities really soon and see for yourself what an amazing group of friends awaits you here at 1st Church.
