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.

Special Programming

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. Click here to contact our youth ministry office if you would like more information on these retreats. 

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 Mission Trip 2021, we are going to Atlanta, GA!  For more information please see our Mission Trip page or contact Kyle Deroche .
