Student Ministries @UMC Livonia

We believe children and youth are vital to the Kingdom of God.

Through UMCL Student Ministry, we seek to empower, equip and encourage students in their relationships with God and others.

The Goals of Student Ministries @ UMC Livonia

Empower

We believe students are a crucial part of bringing the Kingdom of God here on earth.  Through our biblical teaching and spiritual formation, we aim to empower students to live into who God has called them to be and to live out their faith boldly.

Equip

We believe it is essential to help students learn how to read and understand the Bible, as well as how to faithfully live as Christ - followers throughout their everyday lives within their communities.  We choose curriculum based off this belief and equip our Student Ministry Adult Leaders to help students see how the Bible connects to their lives and contexts in hands-on, practical ways.

Encourage

We believe the body of Christ is supposed to feel like family.  No family is perfect, but we strive to make students feel like they belong in our church and in the global Church.  We seek to encourage students in their faith, include them in the life of our church, and give students a community of people who are on their side as they go through all the highs and lows of adolescence.
