Asbury Youth Ministries

The Asbury Youth Group is made up of youth between 7th and 12th grade. We gather regularly to have fun in fellowship, study, and worship as we explore what it means to follow Jesus every day of our lives.

Regular Programming

wednesday night way

Wednesday Night Way is our special fellowship night for all teens in grades 7 - 12. This is a night of craziness, fun, fellowship, worship, food, and more! We play high energy games, hear from guest speakers, do mission projects, and most importantly, develop relationships with other youth and with God.

We begin each week with an opening Youth Assembly upstairs. Come early and hang out in our Youth Cafe' until Sunday School starts!

Our Youth Ministries is committed to keeping our teens engaged in forging a relationship with Jesus all year long! We have special events, retreats, fundraisers, a yearly Mission Trip, and special Sunday School topics and events during the summer months. Check out our events for more info! 

Junior High & Senior High Retreat

Every year, the Louisiana Conference hosts a Junior High Retreat for middle schoolers and a Senior High Retreat for high schoolers. We take a large group of teens to both in Woodsworth, LA. Both are weekend retreats filled with worship, workshops, fellowship, and fun with the unique opportunity to meet other methodist youth from across the state.  Forms for those attending the retreat can be found here. 

youth lock-ins

We are hosting 2 separate lock-ins on January 24, 2020 starting at 7:00pm. The Guys Lock-in will be in Spiritwind Worship Center/Youth Ministry Building and the Girls' Lock-in will be in the Children's Ministry Building. All participants will need to complete the AYM Release form. Registration is required so please check out the details by tapping on the names of the events above! 

AYM Mission Trip

Every summer we take around 60 teens and 18 adults on a trip to a community in need. The type of work varies and we will know what type of work each team will have at the mission meetings before the trip. In the past, we have painted, built wheelchair ramps, put up siding, replaced flooring, cleaned/organized homes, worked day camps/vacation bible schools for neighborhood children and more. Our 2020 Youth Mission Trip is scheduled for June 20, 2020 and will last a week. See our Youth Mission Trip page for more information.
