Young People's Ministries
Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we activate, connect, and engage more young people as disciples of Jesus for the transformation of lives, churches, and communities.
- UMC Children's Ministry Resources: A UMC Resource
- Growing Young: Six Essential Strategies to Help Young People Discover and Love Your Church
- IGNITE Youth Conference

- YPM Wellness: Resources to reduce stress and get help when needed

IGNITE is more than a youth conference; it’s a discipleship pathway for youth, an opportunity for young adults to gain leadership skills and serve in a meaningful way, and an opportunity for churches to grow in faith and community across the Area.
Then, in the fall, we will have campfires at each of our retreat and camping sites. Churches will have a chance to connect for another time of fellowship, worship and continue the conversation around IGNITE:
- Sunday, October 18at Camp Pecometh.
- Sunday, November 1 at West River
- Sunday, November 8 at Manidokan
Don’t forget to bring family and friends to Ocean City for the IGNITE Conference on January 22-24, 2027!
