ENGAGEMENT WITH CHILDREN, YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS

A Uniting Vision

East Ohio Conference Engagement with Children, Youth and Young Adults is living out a uniting vision by bringing together under one umbrella youth, college-age, and young adult ministries. Doing so eliminates the silo effect, and the loss of common goals, that so frequently accompanies singling out ministries by age group.

It is our goal to walk alongside young people as they navigate their faith journey throughout their lives and into adulthood. Engagement with Children, Youth and Young Adults seeks to support the local church and districts to raise up Christian leaders who are disciples of Jesus Christ who then make other disciples for the transformation of the world. We accomplish this through leadership development training events, retreats and network connections.

Upcoming Events

Project Feed | Sunday, November 16, 3:00-5:00 p.m.
Kent First UMC, 1435 E Main St., Kent, OH

Help us change the world one meal at a time! At Project Feed, the youth of Ohio will pack meals for families experiencing food insecurity. This is a great chance for youth to serve together in a one-day mission project. You will meet other youth groups from around Ohio while we help make the world a little better, one meal at a time. Our time will be filled with music, laughter, and the occasional shenanigan. There will be no shirts for sale this year. Cost is $10 for youth, no charge for adults. We are not charging a fee for adults because they may not be able to participate in the meal packing if we reach capacity. The last day to register is November 10 and we reached capacity last fall, so don’t delay! E-mail Deena Wolfe, Emerging Leaders coordinator, with any questions.
