Children and Youth

Children’s Ministry

The mission of our children’s ministry is to gather children in love and help them grow in the Word of God so they will be equipped to go into the world as disciples of Christ. With Sunday school, Vacation Bible School (VBS), activities, camps and more, children are loved and valued at First Methodist McKinney–a place to grow spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially.

Youth Ministry

In youth ministries, we learn how faith applies to the world around us through community, service, worship, study, events, fun, and conversations. We live into our mission to build Christian community by equipping students, parents, and adults and providing space to lead students into a deeply committed faith with joy and love in Jesus.
