Welcome to Youth at FUMCOR
Here at First UMC, we view our youth group not just as future leaders of the church, but leaders of the church now, with important and valuable voices. In our youth group, we balance our time both deepening our faith and spiritual lives, and having a lot of fun together. Our youth group is for grades 7-12.
​
Confirmation is a year-long experience for 6th graders as they prepare to join the church. Open the Confirmation tab for more information.

And then we won't have youth group again until Oak Ridge Schools resume after summer break.
senior reception
senior dinner
In the morning between services, our seniors (of whom we are very proud) let us congratulate them while we drink punch and eat cookies.
Then we have a dinner to celebrate them and let them put their handprints on the Loft walls, as is tradition.
summer kick-off pool party
After church we'll have a pool party (location TBA) to celebrate finishing the school year!
assembly
Don't let the boring sounding name fool you. This is a fun camp that the Holston Conference holds for youth every summer! You get to stay at a college campus, live in a dorm, make new friends, and play for 5 solid days. Nice.
