Jr High Youth Ministry at FUMC LaGrange is with 7th & 8th graders.
All youth, from any background, are welcome to attend our weekly Jr High 180 gatherings. We meet most Wednesdays through the school year, from 6:30-8:00pm, in the Jr High Room (Room 17, on the lower level of the Church).
At Jr High 180, we hang out, pray together, ask tough questions, have fun, eat, and play games. We try to laugh as much as possible, but we value times when we need to be serious together, too. In the world of many Jr High students, most things are changing, all of the time. Through 180, we'll learn about a dependable God, and how we can form a connection with that God. Jr High 180 is also designed to work in conjunction with the Confirmation Program.
