GUMC Youth

GUMC Youth GYM is a student ministry of GUMC Naperville in the downtown area for 6th - 12th grade students as well as College/Young Adults.

At Grace UMC we don't just consider our youth a part of the church of the future, we believe they are the church NOW. All youth, grades 6th-12th are welcome at G.Y.M. (Grace Youth Ministry) to explore what it means to be a follower of Christ. Through study, mission opportunities, serving opportunities, and fellowship gatherings, youth are introduced to a deeper meaning of a Christ-centered life an

d how a life of faith brings the promise of hope, help, and unconditional love for a life-time. "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12 NIV

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Don't miss the Piano Concert this Sunday, January 8 at 3:00 p.m. at Grace featuring Myroslav Mykhailenko! Myroslav was born in Ukraine and moved to the U.S. just four years ago. For the past four years, he has been pursuing his dream of becoming a concert pianist. He has been accepted at the Peabody Conservatory of The Johns Hopkins University, one of the most respected music conservatories in the U.S. We will also take up a love offering to help support his schooling. Myroslav will be joined by his brother, Nazarii, a singer and conductor. Nazarii is a student at Roosevelt University in Chicago, and a student conductor with NaperVoices.

Side x Side (our youth summer mission trip) looked a bit different this year (as have many things). However, as you'll see, there's hope for the future. Two little visitors gave us hope that this trip will continue for generations to come! Thank you to Jack W. for taking photos and creating this slide show!
