student ministry

FUMC Graham is excited to have a vibrant student ministry filled with young people from all backgrounds and walks of life! We are passionate about empowering and challenging our students in their spiritual growth and daily lives.  We desire to walk alongside families during this important stage.  We welcome all students, 6-12th grades, to join us in fun and discipleship.

"Blessed are those who come in the name of the Lord"

We strive to walk alongside students and families as they begin to discover who God has created them to be.

  • bonus content:

    • Confirmation - Each spring we offer this in-depth class.  This is typically for our 6th graders but open to all students who have not had the opportunity to go through Confirmation.  This is a pivotal point in a student's life where they begin to discover what they believe about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Church and what it means to be a Christian.  At the end of our class, each student can be baptized (if they haven't already done so), confirm what they believe, and become full members of the church.
