Youth

At Church of the Good Shepherd, Youth are an integral part of the life of the congregation. As such, many programs are available for young people to participate in, including Bible Study, musical groups, dramatic presentations, and missions.

Youth Mission Statement

We, the 'Y' of the UMYF, feel that our group should create a positive environment where different types of youth can be accepted, enabled to learn about themselves, while learning about Christ and making a positive difference in our community, and having fun doing it.
