Lynn Haven Youth

Ministry

Lynn Haven Methodist’s Youth ministry is devoted to the spiritual growth of middle and high school students in their Christian faith. We offer a safe and positive atmosphere for students to grow in character by strengthening friendships, meeting new people, and serving God. Our mission is to lead every student to become a fully devoted follower of Christ.

Youth activities take place most Sunday and Wednesday evenings. Students can expect worship and Bible messages, small group time and having fun with their friends. We also attend amazing retreats, fun events, service projects and mission trips. Our Youth program has an outstanding, dedicated and passionate volunteer leadership team that devotes their time, energy, and heart to leading students to love God and love other people. We couldn’t hope to serve these students without the leaders that God has called to serve in our ministry. On Sunday mornings, Youth are invited to participate in the main church service along with their families.

Young Adult Programs

“The Well” Young Adult Ministry

We are excited to announce a new Young Adult Ministry called “The Well” that has been formed at our church! All young adults aged 18 to 28 years old are invited to attend. The group meets here at LHM Wednesday evenings at 8 pm for a time of food, fellowship & fun! If you have any questions, or if you feel called to lead a devotion or get involved with this group, please reach out to Student Minister, Neal McGee or Church Lay Leader, Brian Baber.

Faith Anchors Program

In an effort to maintain a strong connection with graduating students & the body of Christ @ Lynn Haven Methodist, we are introducing a Faith Anchors program which is designed to provide emotional, spiritual & practical support through involvement from dedicated church families. Studies show that as many as 70% of Christian students leave the church during college/young adult life. We want to prevent that from happening to our students!

In order to support graduating high school seniors as they transition to college/young adult life, this program will consist of:

Faith Anchors: Students will be thoughtfully matched with families based on shared interests, backgrounds, and spiritual needs to foster meaningful relationships.

Communication Plan: Regular monthly check-ins will be scheduled, utilizing emails, phone calls, video chats, and if possible, in-person visits, to ensure ongoing support and mentorship.

Support Activities: Faith Anchor families will engage in various activities, including sending care packages, sharing devotional content, praying for the students and offering guidance and encouragement.

We will provide guidance and training for anyone interested!

Please consider becoming one of our Faith Anchor families. To find out how you can get involved, contact Student Minister, Neal McGee.

Student Highlights

For Parents

We believe students need a place to have fun, learn about God, be encouraged, and connect with positive adults. As parents, we know you want your children to be in an environment that will help them discover and grow in their faith. We commit to providing that environment each Sunday and Wednesday. New student members are always welcome!

Youth Group Leader/Volunteer

Interested in serving in our Youth Group? Our leaders love God & teenagers! Our goal is to make them feel loved and accepted in a safe environment where they can learn about God and His Word through games, lessons, worship and small groups. We would love for you to join us one evening to see if this might be an area in which you would like to serve at Lynn Haven Methodist!
