Youth Ministries

The middle and high school students at Bainbridge FUMC are a vital component of our faith community. We attempt to combine faith, study, service, fellowship, and life in general into one great ministry. Through our widely popular small group studies on Wednesday evenings to our fun and fellowship events on Sunday evenings, to the music program, to yearly events like summer camp , mission trip, overnight events, Winter Retreat with snow skiing and more. There’s always something happening and if you’re a middle or high school student, you’re always invited.
