Come Get In the Loop!

ESUMC believes in providing ministry to and with the young people of this church community. Many opportunities are provided for youth (grades 6 - 12th) to have fun and fellowship with one another, to know Jesus Christ personally and to grow in a relationship with God.

We believe that it is important to provide a place where youth feel accepted and loved unconditionally. We believe that place can be the Edenton Street United Methodist Church youth program!

Edenton Street is blessed to have many caring, dependable counselors who work with the youth on a regular basis. They give so much of their time, energy, and love to the youth of this church. The youth are blessed to have these dedicated adults in their lives.

Our Mission Statement

To encourage all youth to have a personal relationship with Christ, to service Christ, and to spread the Word of God through faithfulness, fellowship, and fun.

What  we do....

  • Bible Study: We offer weekly Bible studies for both Middle and Senior High youth.

  • Mission Trips: The youth are very active in mission work at Edenton Street and have many opportunities to serve God in local and away missions.
    - Senior High Summer Mission Trip: The Senior High youth take a week long trip to do missions each summer, locally, nationally, or globally.
    - Middle School Summer Mission Trip: The Middle School youth take a long weekend during the summer to do missions work.


  • Fund Raisers: Throughout the year, the youth are very active in raising money for many causes.
    First and foremost, the youth raise money for summer missions. This helps decrease the personal cost of the missions trips for the youth. They also raise money for other important causes like CROP Walk and the 30 Hour Famine.

  • Camp Shalom The youth play an important role in providing leadership in our week-long summer camp for inner city and Edenton Street children.

  • Youth Groups: UMYF (United Methodist Youth Fellowship) meets on Sunday nights at the church. This is a time for youth to interact with Christian peers, sing praise songs, come to know Christ, learn about His love for each of them, and be included in a supportive network of prayer.
