Students
Welcome to the McFarlin Student Ministries! In our youth program (grades 6-12) we aim to show students how much Jesus loves them and how to walk alongside Christ and each other in their lives! Through missions, small groups, and fellowship we dive deeper into the Christian life and loving all of God’s children.

Wednesday Night Youth: 7-7:30pm dinner with a suggested but not required $5 donation, 7:30-8:45pm middle school and high school meet together, and each week looks a little different as we emphasize small groups, worship, fellowship and missions.

Ways to Volunteer with Youth
The key to a successful ministry to middle school and high school students is lots of support from adults in the congregation. One way to support our youth is to pray for them, their leaders, and our efforts to reach them with the love of Christ. You can also sign up to help; here are some ways: Middle School Boys Breakfast Help, Middle School Girls Breakfast Help, Sunday School Help, Wednesday Night Helpers with meal prep, serving and clean up, Small Group Leaders for Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings, adult sponsors for camps and mission trips and drivers when we have special events and trips. If any of this interests you please contact Rebekah or Kloe for more info.
Forms
At McFarlin we strongly believe in striving to help lower the barriers that prevent people from engaging in our ministries in every form. One of the ways we work to do this is by offering financial assistance for our events, outings, and trips when we are able to.
