Weekly Programs

Wednesday Night Youth

Wednesdays, 6:00-8:00 PM
Youth Suite (F329)

Give your 6th-12th grader a midweek boost! WNY offers student led worship, fun games, age appropriate teaching, small group discussions, and a shared meal to help them build lasting friendships and deepen their faith.

October Series Title: “Collide”

This October during Wednesday Night Youth, our new series “Collide.” The series title says it all. Jesus doesn’t just give us inspiring ideas; He invites us into a completely different way of living. Over the next couple of Wednesdays in October, we’ll explore the Beatitudes and discover how Jesus’ vision for life often clashes with the values, priorities, and pursuits of the world around us. As we do, we’ll wrestle with what He says, what we truly value, what we’re chasing after, and who He created us to be.

RENEW

Help your teenager kick off Sunday with purpose! RENEW meets every Sunday from 9:30-10:45 AM in the Youth Suite (F329), right before the 11:00 AM worship service. It’s a laid-back, welcoming space for 6th-12th graders to build community, play games, and dive into table discussions that make faith real and relevant for their daily lives. (And yes, there will be Pop-Tarts)

October Series Title: “Origin Story”

This October at RENEW, we’re kicking off a new series called “Origin Story.” This series examines how everything started, how it all fell apart, and how God began His redemption plan that is still ongoing today.

Upcoming Events

Bring a friend and get ready for the Impossible Games! 🏆

WNY: Tip Takeover

Wednesday Night Youth: Tip Takeover is Wednesday is Oct 14 from 6-8 PM. If McEachern UMC Student Ministry is about anything it is loving Jesus and nicknames. FYI- Moose is not my real name 😱. Our awesome Associate Director of Student Ministry is Tiffany Peters and her family nickname is “Tip” hence the cool name on Oct 14 as Tiffany takes over Wednesday Night Youth! She has picked the menu for dinner, the games, the youth talk, and the craft. Join us for this special night with Tip in charge..
