Youth Ministry

Auburn UMC Youth Ministry's mission is to build a Christ-centered community that makes disciples and equips students to grow in their relationships with Jesus as together we seek to make God's love visible in the world. We offer a variety of discipleship activities including worship, fellowship, small group bible study, mission projects, and annual retreats.

Our Core Values | Colossians 3:1-3

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”

For the remainder of the 2023-24 school year, Auburn UMC Youth welcomes all students in grades 6-12. Everyone is always invited, regardless of where they worship on Sundays, and encouraged to bring a friend! The Youth Center is located in the Epworth Building at 137 South Gay Street in downtown Auburn, Alabama.
