Our Programs

Awaken

Join us Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. to wake up with fellowship, study, and donuts! We will gather for music and announcements, then split into middle school and high school groups to awaken to God’s word. 6th-8th grades meet in Room 202 and 9-12th grades meet in Room 203 in the Family Life Center.

Engage

Come Sunday nights to dig deeper through fellowship, study, and prayer. We will engage our whole selves in discussion, prayer, and worship…plus a whole lot of fun! Engage meets each week from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Family Life Center.
[All youth; some events are middle school/high school only, see weekly youth news]

Connect: Self, Community, God

Our Tweens (5th, 6th, and 7th graders) are invited to join us monthly as we build relationships, serve, and help youth connect to one another and with God during the transitional pre-teen years. Connect will meet one Friday each month from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Family Life Center.
[5th, 6th, and 7th grade youth]

Confirmation

Our 8th, 9th, and 10th graders are invited to take the next step in their faith journey. Confirmation is an opportunity to respond to the grace of God available to us, as acknowledged in baptism, and to promise to live as a person of faith. Confirmands are asked to remember their baptism, so we ask each of our participants to have been baptized prior to completing Confirmation. Confirmands will complete their Confirmation by being asked to take the same vows of membership in The United Methodist Church and our local congregation that all who join are asked.

2019-2020 Confirmation Classes
Tuesdays, October 22, 2019-April 19, 2020, 7:00-8:30 p.m.
Youth in 8th,9th, & 10th grade are invited to reaffirm their baptism and become members of the church through Confirmation. From October through April we will meet weekly to articulate our faith and our questions as well as learn more about Christianity, Methodism, Religion and ourselves. Confirmation will meet on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m. this October through April. We meet Tuesday nights in homes around Austin. Register here.

All Are Welcome

We believe that every person is a beloved child of God. We believe that every person is on a journey toward God, with God. We freely admit that we do not have all the answers. We believe that Jesus points the way.

First United Methodist Church of Austin is affiliated with the Reconciling Ministries Network, a group of United Methodist congregations who have adopted statements welcoming people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Get Involved

First United Methodist Church offers opportunities for people of all ages to get involved. To learn more about our ministries, go to Children, Youth, and Adults.
