Rio Rancho UMC Youth Purpose
Youth group is an inclusive fellowship with a focus on spiritual formation and growth.
This is obtained by creating a safe, non-competitive, non-threatening environment where all youth feel welcome and accepted for who they are. Youth are encouraged to invite friends to all activities.
Fellowship occurs where two or more are gathered for engaging discussion, games, and meals. While some activities may be entertaining, the primary focus of all activities is building relationships and creating equality.
Spiritual growth will occur when strong relationships are developed with peers and mentors that allow us to speak openly about our beliefs, and to share our fears, joys, and concerns.
