welcome to wumc youth group!

We are so excited you are here!


Youth is about growing in our faith, building relationships, and being disciples in the world! 

Our time together is focused on being disciples of Jesus, our calling in the world to be good stewards, and building healthy relationships with all people.


We connect each week during the school year with meals, games, and events on Wednesdays from 6:00-7:00pm.  In the summer, we join our Children's Ministry students and their families for WUMC Family Fun Nights! This is a time focused on fun, fellowship, and formation! We're hosting different events each month to spend time experiencing God in relationship with each other.  Check out the list of activities below.  All begin at 6pm.

The Early Childhood Music School is a weekday program offered to the community-at-large. Weekly classes in music-and-movement (taught by internationally certified early childhood music specialists) address the following goals: 

  • Promote music education as every child’s right. 
  • Generate enthusiasm for music through repeated, positive experiences. 
  • Provide holistic education at a time when children are developmentally receptive. 
  • Create a nurturing environment that enables children to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually.
  • Affirm and support parents of young children while facilitating positive family interaction.

KID'S MORNING OUT

(kmo)

Williamsburg United Methodist Church has a deep and long-term commitment to ministry within the local community.  One of the ways this shows up is an intentional outreach to families and caregivers of the youngest among us, which we call Kids Morning Out.  Throughout the school year, this weekday ministry provides an environment that demonstrates God's unconditional love for all children by fostering each child's social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual growth, and creating a support system for caregivers of young children.


We currently offer classes for children between the ages of one and four, as of September 30:  Sprouts (young toddlers), Seedlings (twos), Saplings (threes), and Sycamores (fours).


We are so grateful for KMO Director Laura Pittman, her gifted and loving staff, dedicated board members and most of all, our KMO families and students!  We’d love for you to see more of what KMO is all about. 


For more information, please visit www.KidsMorningOut.org or contact Director Laura Pittman at lpittman@williamsburgumc.org.
