GROWING DEEPLY COMMITTED CHRISTIANS...

Youth are an integral part of our church family at St. Peter's. We create opportunities for fun & fellowship in a welcoming community where students can worship, serve and grow in faith.

Fellowship is the cement of our Christian community. In order for youth to build strong friendships in a loving environment, we encourage students to participate in our programs & activities. Our ongoing programs are listed below. However, we offer so much more throughout the year like Rock the Universe, Escape Night, Thanksgiving Dinner, Christmas Party, Theme Nights, Fall Fun Night, Ice Skating etc..

Make sure to stay updated with all of our events through our Facebook page, parent email, bulletin updates or the Youth Calendar.

Scholarship Forms Available

Warren Willis and St. Peter’s UMC both offer scholarships for eligible campers. These scholarships will help cover a portion of the cost for you as a parent. The Florida Annual Conference of the UM Church provides Warren Willis with scholarship money to help families with financial need. All portions of the scholarship form must be filled out to be considered. You can access the Warren Willis scholarship through a tab on their website or a link below. Those interested in the St. Peter’s scholarship should pick up the proper form located outside of the Youth Director’s office.

You may also find it helpful to note that Upward Basketball hours served will count towards earning to summer activities. This system is set up similarly to the Pumpkin Patch. Meaning the hours you served at the Pumpkin Patch or Upward Basketball will help earn you money towards camp.

For more information about scholarships and hours earned, contact Shelly Albright

Discovery Weekend Information

Discovery Weekend is a spiritual retreat weekend for Middle School students. This weekend is open to all church youth groups. The youth involved will focus on experiencing the love of God. There will be fun skits, games, great music, and engaging activities for both girls and boys.

High school youth will be leaders for the weekend, mentoring the middle school students throughout the retreat. Adult leaders will be present to help in all areas and to mentor the high school students. Parents are welcome to come help with any area they wish to serve. Parents that serve do not have to stay overnight.

This weekend is grounded in prayer. There will be a Prayer Chapel available throughout the weekend for leaders and parents.

Parents are encouraged to attend the Saturday night service. Parents will be given the opportunity to pray and light a candle for their child.

Meals will be prepared at the church.

What is Chrysalis?

WHAT IS CHRYSALIS?

Chrysalis is the name chosen for the youth version of The Walk to Emmaus, its parent movement, because it symbolizes the spiritual growth that is essential between adolescence and adulthood. That growth is as crucial for youth as the cocoon is for the caterpillar. It is that precious time of nurturing a person's faith for discipleship.

This three-day spiritual retreat provides an opportunity for you to learn more about faith, to experience Christian love and support, and to make new faith commitments. The point is to inspire, challenge and equip you for a closer friendship with Christ and for Christian action at home, church, school, and community.
