Children & Youth

Children & Youth

Here at LJUMC, we offer a safe place for all ages to experience Gods love in community. That being said, we aspire to be more.

Coming Soon…

We are excited for what God is doing in this new season of life. We are currently in the process of developing new ministries geared towards children and youth alike.

Coming in September 2026, we will be launching the 1st phase of this new chapter, Aspire Kids; Where we aspire to be the best friend to each other, and the best friend to God. Aspire Kids is the ministry geared towards elementary-aged children which will focus on the core idea of loving God and loving each other through practical demonstrations of friendship.

But wait, there’s more…

While youth do attend services here at LJUMC, and actively engage with a loving community, we continue to aspire for more.

The 2nd phase of this new chapter will focus on Aspire Youth; Where we aspire to be the best friend to our community, and to God. Aspire Youth is the ministry geared towards middle and high school-aged children that focuses on practical demonstrations of friendship in our community, and to God. Phase 2 is on the horizon, so do please be on the lookout.

So what now!

Well, like every great undertaking in Scripture, the community of believers was asked to participate. So that means, YOU, are needed! Come BE part of this next chapter and allow others to experience the love of God through YOU.
