Youth Ministry
We were tired after a week in the Valley doing home repair and community service and sunburned from a day at the beach celebrating all that God had done that week…but we had Whataburger and each other and we were happy and so full.
The best way to stay up to date on youth happenings is to subscribe to our weekly email newsletter, The Rundown, where we detail all of our upcoming events for the week and beyond.
Weekly Bible Studies and After School Program
Weekly Bible Study
Most Mondays during the school year (unless otherwise specified), youth from Northwest Hills UMC gather at Epoch, Far West, (3900 Far W Blvd, Austin, TX 78731), from 5-6pm to kick it and read from the good book. Currently, we’re making our way through Ephesians.
Sunday School
This week in Sunday School: Dang, That is One Fiery Furnace
Last we met, King Nebuchadnezzar built a 90-foot-tall golden statue, gathered all of the fancy and important people in his kingdom, and gave the decree that everyone would be required to worship this new, golden image. What happens next? Let’s find out!
Gather in the Youth Center at 10am.
Wednesday After School Program
Every Wednesday, we’re opening up our Youth Center from 3:50 – 5:30pm to give youth a place to hang out, do homework, play games, and build community.
We’re excited to see where God leads us on this new journey. If you’re interested in volunteering at the After School Program, click here to contact Tyler Steele.
Sunday Nights and Other Activities
Board Game Night
This Sunday, gather at 5PM in the Youth Center and bring your favorite board game to play with friends! We’ll have some snacks but youth should plan to eat a meal before or after youth group.
Build Your Own Pizza Night
On Sunday, October 5th, youth (grades 6-12) are invited to gather in the Youth Center on Sunday night at 5PM to build the pizza of their dreams!
We’ll provide the supplies. If you desire a particularly obscure pizza topping or if you have any dietary restrictions we should know about, please let us know when you sign up.
Spring Break Mission Trip
We’re exploring opportunities for a Spring Break Mission Trip to the Valley, Sunday March 15th – Thursday, March 19th. The trip is open to youth grades 6-12 and adults of all ages.
We will host two info/interest meetings, one on Zoom on Wednesday, October 1st, from 7-7:30PM, and one in person on Sunday, October 5th, from 4:30 – 5:00 in the Youth Center.
Sunday, March 23rd, 2025 – A DAY OF DOMINATION
After a Sunday of PURE DOMINATION, our youth are the REIGNING CHAMPIONS of the Greater Austin Area United Methodist Youth Annual Scavenger Hunt!
Tasked with completing a myriad of absolutely insane, and dare I say, at times, unhinged, challenges around the Domain and documenting them via photo and video, our youth stepped up to the plate and knocked the ball out of the flipping park!
We got makeovers for the Lord, we got our ears pierced for the Lord, some of us even begged for sushi from strangers for the Lord but no amount of public shame can tarnish the fact that WE ARE CHAMPIONS!!!
Congrats to Northwest Hills UMC Youth on being quantifiably THE BEST! Check out a few more pictures from this year’s Scavenger Hunt below.
