Summer Resources

BUMCSM Newsletter

Stay connected and in-the-know with all the BUMCSM is doing! Our newsletter offers church news, program updates, and resources for students and parents.

Summer Sunday School

Join us for virtual Sunday School by stepping into what life was like for biblical followers. You will learn all about everyday life and the cultural norms in different parts of the Bible with hands-on activities that you can do in your home or with neighbors.

We believe that students (6th - 12th grade) need and deserve a place to feel like they belong. Our programming offers students opportunities for community, discipleship, and missional living to give them active and vital roles in the Kingdom of God.

Sunday Nights

Youth worship and small groups are an opportunity for all students to gather in a community of worship, support, and belonging. We take time in our worship to connect with God and each other. We strive to form a sense of belonging in our small groups while cultivating accountability and discipleship. Our small groups consist of students of the same grade led by two adult volunteers. Our youth choirs also rehearse as a part of our regular Sunday Night programs.

6th Grade Confirmation

Confirmation is an opportunity for 6th grade students to claim their faith as their own. During a semester-long class, students will learn the basics of faith and theology as well as United Methodist and Christian history. This class concludes with the opportunity for each student to confirm their faith and join the church as well as an opportunity to be baptized. Confirmation has a combination of large group teaching by one of our clergy or youth ministers, as well as small groups. Confirmation, while a large milestone in one’s faith journey, is not a finish line. Rather it’s one part of the journey we hope to continue with each student throughout their time in BUMCSM. Confirmation happens in the Fall semester.
