Youth

A Place for the Texting Generation

About Our Program

The mission of the youth program at Shepherd of the Hills United Methodist Church is to build life-long disciples of Jesus Christ while creating a loving and safe environment where kids can be themselves.

The youth group is an active group of youth in grades 6 through 12. We are involved in volunteering with VBS and assisting in nursery and Sunday School, yearly mission trips, junior high and senior high camps, summer fun gatherings, youth worship, fundraising, as well as the regular weekly worship gatherings and youth activities.

 

 

 

Leadership

Richard Annett is our Youth Ministry Coordinator. He is currently going to Fuller Seminary where he is in the process of earning his Master of Divinity. For the past two summers, he has attended Lazy W Ranch as a Senior High camp leader. His greatest experience with youth is the moment they realize that Jesus is here among us, watching over us, protecting us, and guiding us in our lives. Richard prays that the Youth Group at Rancho Santa Margarita will continue to be a place where students can come and experience the love of God.

This Week at RSM Campus

• On Sunday we continue our series on "Making All Things New." Last week we talked about the "What" of the Gospel - the very nature of the Gospel and how God wants to transform the world through it. This week we are going to talk about the "Who" of the Gospel. We are continuing to move through Colossians and as it progresses Paul begins to pray for the people of Colasse and does so because he knows that they will need great trust and knowledge of Who the gospel is about, and Who will cause life transformation. So this week we will gather together to talk about Who Jesus is when it comes to transformation newness. What we discover is that Jesus makes things new everyday if we simply allow those tiny transformations to lead to big ones..... See you Sunday as we talk about the image of the invisible!
