Here at Elsberry United Methodist Church, the youth hold a special place in our community's heart. Our dedication to their growth goes beyond providing knowledge about Jesus, God, and the Bible; it encompasses creating a nurturing environment that fosters their spiritual, emotional, and personal development. Through engaging programs, discussions, and activities tailored to their needs, we guide our youth on a journey of exploration and understanding.
In this safe and faithful environment, we prioritize open communication, encouraging them to voice their thoughts, questions, and experiences. It's not just about learning; it's about empowering our youth to navigate life's challenges with a strong foundation of faith.
If you would like more information about getting involved with the youth either as an adult volunteer sharing your skills and interests for an upcoming activity or as a youth, contact Pastor Laura Taylor at elsberryumc@gmail.com.
Youth Food Drive Impact
Last October, our youth collected approximately 1,200 non-perishable items for our local food pantry, run by Care Services St. Joachim and Ann. Many families from the community participated, with additional support from the First Christian Church of Elsberry.
