Teens / Young Adult

T.G.I.F.  Teens Growing In Faith.

Modern teens and young adults deal with many challenging issues and the young adult class at Elm Grove United Methodist church offers them a Christian perspective in a relaxed environment.

Topics picked are of special interest to this age group.  Recently, the class discussed “When Christians Get it Wrong” by Adam Hamilton, which dealt with reasons young adults are not interested in being involved with church and how those involved with church can help those who are uninterested return and feel welcome.  Currently they are working through “O Say Can You See?” by James W. Moore which relates Scripture to modern day scenarios and encourages Christians to focus on seeing the world through God’s Word instead of how the world wants them to view issues.

Aside from in-depth class discussions, the class takes a trip to McDonalds on the first Sunday of every month during the Sunday School hour to catch-up with each other.  They also incorporate movie days into the Sunday School time.  Previous movies have included “Bruce Almighty” and “Facing the Giants”.  The movies always have a Christian theme and there is always a discussion following the movie.

Another activity the class participates in is finding God in a news story.  News stories from print media are brought in and the class discusses where God was at work or where the adversary had control.

New members are always welcome!
