youth center.
Youth Group: Go deeper than pizza and armpit relays! Just what you need to be a disciple. e|Merge comes in three 13-program volumes, an interactive DVD
The 13 sessions are grouped into three units.
-
Spiritual Disciplines, the first unit, helps students develop habits of prayer, Scripture reading, and simple living.
- Room Raiders, the second unit, looks at relationships and personal choices using the metaphor of a house. (The "Family Room" session deals with familial relationships, the
"Rec Room" session with entertainment choices, and so on).
-
Contagious Faith, the third unit, looks at evangelism, teaching and encouraging youth to be a living example and to tell their story.
Each of the 13 programs in this first volume is enhanced by visual media and divided into two segments: a large group gathering and teaching time, followed by dividing youth into small groups for more intimate discussion.

Mission Experiences
Actually being the hands and feet for God, is an amazing gift that we can offer. As well as, undoubtedly vey fun, fulfilling, and life changing
events in which youth ever participate.
Most people would scoff
at the idea of working for free, especially paying to work,
however, the joy you receive from having done something for
someone else out of the kindness of your heart that comes from
being unselfish with your talents is indescribable. All teens are welcome to bring a friend(s) to any of these experiences.

Summer Camps
There are many district wide camps that teens are invited to
attend. District Camp is for both Junior and Senior High youth,
while Dayspring is for Senior High youth.
District Camp is designed
with a theme relevant to modern day struggles of teens. Dayspring
is a discipleship camp designed to assist youth in their personal
relationship with God.
Both camps are weeklong; they are located
at Camp Canyon near Hinton, OK. Another of the camps that our
youth attend is CYME. CYME is a leadership camp that youth lead. For more information on Oklahoma Conference, United Methodist
