MDUMC YOUTH
At MDUMC Youth, we are committed to three simple things:
· Friendly and meaningful relational investment in the lives of students and parents.
· Honest and authentic Bible teaching.
· Active and missional service of our local, national and international neighbors.
Our passion is deeper than youth ministry; it's family ministry. From retreats, service opportunities, fellowship and small groups to Workcamp and The Refuge, we are dedicated to providing students and their families with a friendly, honest and loving church environment.
Our aim is to help students continually cultivate a desire to discover and develop a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. We value our role in both the community and in the lives of students and do not take our responsibility lightly.
Our staff is committed to helping families experience the transformational love of God through prayer, relationships, and actions.

High School Ministry
Relational investment is the heart of our High School Ministry. We meet students where they’re at – whether it’s cheering them on in the stands of football games or discussing life over a cup of coffee. In addition to the many opportunities for fun and fellowship, our staff continually seeks to foster lifelong relationships by creating space for quality time, conversations and discipleship.
