Welcome Youth

Manchaca UMC Youth are students in grades 6th – 12th. We are a community where you can come and find a place where you are welcomed, loved, and accepted for who you are as God made you. We have all kinds of activities throughout the year including our weekly Sunday times. You can begin your Sunday and your week with worship and Sunday School and finish your Sunday with youth group where we learn more about Christ, ourselves, and each other through games and programs. We have music opportunities on Sunday afternoon that include a youth praise band and a youth choir.

You can always bring a friend along to share in the fun—fellowship, missions, Sunday School, Bible Study, Worship and powerful hang time. There is something for everyone and it is happening all the time. For specific times and events call 512-282-7274 or email Beth Seward, Director of Youth Ministries.
