Dandridge First UMC Youth Group 

1 Timothy 4:12 - Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

About Us - We are a comprehensive youth ministry that is designed to build community, learn the scripture, and grow in faith and friendship.

 

JOIN US FOR FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT on Fri July 24, 7:30 PM at the Student Ministry Center. Bring a folding/camp chair to watch the film outside with us! Popcorn & lemonade provided. Showing: "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," based on the best-selling book by Christian author & theologian C. S. Lewis.

 

Youth group is housed in the Main St Student Ministry Center.

PLEASE NOTE: Youth group follows the Jefferson County School's schedules. Youth does not meet if there are snow days on meeting days, unless otherwise directed by the Christian Education Director.

 

Sunday School 

Our youth members are invited to join our Multigenerational Sunday School Class at 9 am on Sundays. We gather in the Student Ministry Center and study together from ages 12-adult. This is a wonderful way for youth to study on Sundays with a parent or family member, as well as peers and safe church adults. 

This group focuses on books of the Bible or topical studies of interest and is discussion-based with a large emphasis on intergenerational relationships within the church family. 

Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Join us to gather in His name! 

 

Mid-Week Gatherings

 

Our youth group meets mid-week throughout the school year in the Student Ministry Center. We welcome school-aged children and youth (elementary through high school; if any event is specific to a certain age, we will note that on our schedule). Typically, our gatherings are at 6:30 PM on Wednesdays for 45-60 minutes. The schedule below will tell you when we gather and the topic for each gathering. 

  • Fall 2026 Dates are being planned! Stay tuned!
