Youth Program
Please visit the Calendars page and Newsletters page for more information.
 
 Youth Group
Our church takes very seriously the importance of having a thriving youth program.  It is designed to be both fun and informative.  It is true the youth are the future of the church and by helping them at this very formative time in their lives we are not only doing them a great service but also ourselves.  Our youth group is open to anyone who is in grades 6 thru12.
Currently, there are two times when the youth meet at church.  Every Sunday morning they meet in the basement from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM.  This is designed as a time when students may experience spirituality in a hands on way.  On Sunday evenings, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, the youth meet again to look in depth at a particular spiritual subject.  This is a time for fellowship and games, music and worship, lessons, and small group discussions.
The youth also participate in a number of other activities together outside of a "traditional youth group" setting.  Some of these include: retreats, watching movies, going on scavenger hunts, volunteering in the community, doing random acts of kindness, and many other fun activities.  We look forward to being active members of our community well into the future.

Summer Camps and Retreats
The United Methodist Church supports camping and retreat ministries for children of all ages.  The goal of these ministries is to offer ways to gain a greater awareness of God's love, to develop an appreciation of sanctuary in God's creation, to experience renewal and regeneration, to make new friendships and experience a deepened faith.  Please visit http://gocamping.org/ for more information.
Boy Scouting
Troop 7 has been chartered by the Men of the Medford First United Methodist Church since its formation in 1928 and the Church at 607 West Main in Medford has been our only home.  We have served the needs of boys from within the Church Family and from the community as a whole for nearly 80 years.  In that time, we have seen over 60 young men receive the Rank of Eagle Scout . . . the highest achievement in Scouting.  Visit http://www.troop7medford.org/ for more information.
