Methodist Youth Fellowship

Our youth are a vital part of our church family. For over 34 years, Hughes has provided middle school and high school youth an opportunity to interact with their peers and grow in their faith. Our Mid-High and Senior High MYF groups meet regularly at Hughes with their MYF Counselors. Through our MYF, we strive to lead our youth through the most challenging part of their lives with a strong commitment to faith that we hope will serve as a foundation for their emergence as a mature Christian.

 

Each January, our MYF join other Baltimore-Washington Conference youth at ROCK, the annual Methodist youth revival/retreat in Ocean City, Maryland.  Each summer, the MYF participate in Camp Hope, at which they help renovate home of needy families.

 

Our MYF meets the first Sunday of each month after the 10:30 a.m. worship service (around 12:30). Lunch is served.
