The Youth Ministry of FUMC is for all Youth from 6th grade to 12th grade. It is a place where young people can have fun, fellowship, and of course food in an environment of Christian love and service. UMYF regularly meets Sunday nights from 4:30 P.M. to 7 P.M. We play games, share a devotion, and for $2 receive dinner prepared by one of our many Youth parents. Beyond our Sunday night activity there are plenty of other fun events such as: Movie Night, Putt-Putt Golf, Bowling, making cookies for shut-ins, and talent shows. During the summer we go to Camp in Leesburg and have traveled to Gainesville for tubing down the Ichnetucknee. Our youth ministry is led by Ted Wright who became a part of our staff in 2000.

 The praise band is an extension of the Youth Ministry. There are no try-outs and anyone may join. The praise band has been used in Prayer and Praise Services and Sunday Morning Worship. The praise band practices every Wednesday from 5 P.M. to 6 P.M. in the Sanctuary.
