Youth in grades 6-12 have weekly meetings on Sunday afternoons and also have the same opportunities as the children in terms of recreation, fellowship, Christian Education, etc. The Youth are also active in the district and conference levels. They are also involved in Salkehatchie Summer Service, a mission of the United Methodist Church.
VISION STATEMENT
In our vision for the United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF) of Cannon's Camp Ground United Methodist Church, we hope to provide an open and loving environment for all YOUth where they can be themselves. A comfortable atmosphere will allow for dialogue among the YOUth concerning issues of faith and spirituality as well as daily living.
We also hope to provide spiritual education for all YOUth, enabling them to live Christian lives and share the gospel. We seek ways to be of service to the surrounding community as well as to areas outside of Cannon's Camp Ground and Spartanburg in order to show God's love and restore people's faith in themselves and in others.
Our goal for UMYF fosters a comfortable environment for spiritual growth. We explore how religion and social issues come together, looking for ways to stay true to our faith and to be inclusive of all people. Through UMYF, we desire to invite, receive, and introduce YOUth to Christ, nurture them in discipleship while addressing their needs and hurts, and send them out as Christian disciples to invite others on their journey and to help relieve suffering in this community and the world. In order to fulfill this statement of vision, we must look at our overall mission.
