Matthews United Methodist Church: United Kids | Sunday Gatherings

Sunday Gatherings

Youth will explore and live into this theme throughout United Youth during 2024-2025. "Unshaken." In Christ, we can live unshaken when we come to Him and surrender every worry and care before God. Living unshaken doesn't mean you never experience trials, feelings, worry, fear, or doubt! It means you bring those cares to Christ in the midst of your circumstances and walk away with God's peace. In order to live unshaken, you first have to know who God is and who you are in Him. Though our circumstances change, God never does. He is unchanging and it is on His promises we build our life and find our identity! God is the Way-Maker, Stronghold-Breaker, and Peace-Bringer. He is the Unshaken One, and in Him, we too can live unshaken.

What are you facing today? That battle is not yours, it’s God’s. Start by praising God for who He is, then rest in the fact that the Creator of the Universe goes before you to help tackle whatever problem stands in front of you.

Let us pray together, "You, Lord, are a faithful God. In our times of difficulty, let our faith be unshaken. Let it grow stronger, turning challenges into steppingstones that lead to perseverance, godly character, and hope. In the name of Jesus. Amen."

Offering Christian Community

We are created for relationships. From the very beginning, God told us that it's not good for us to be alone. And we want to host a safe/fun place for teenagers to explore their faith relationships with Jesus Christ, their peers, and adult mentors.

Small Groups

Discipleship is possibly the most important practice of the church. Our small groups are designed to give teenagers the space needed to practice living out their created identity. We want to see what our teens will do in that space. We love watching students do amazing things because they are figuring out who they are in Christ.

But don’t take our word for it. Here for yourself from teens in our group.
