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.

Join us for a time of fellowship, prayer, and diving into God's word! Don't know hardly anything about the bible? NO WORRIES! This gathering isn't for "bible scholars", it's for anyone who is curious about the bible and wants to understand it better.

We will be following the CDC guidelines for places of worship at these gatherings including social distancing and wearing masks. If you are interested in coming or would like more information, please contact Kyle Deroche.

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.

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. For more information please contact Kyle Deroche .
