Family
Ministry
We have a spirited Family Ministries program at FUMC Chiefland where children and teens can learn about God’s great love through lessons catered to them. During the Sunday morning service, we have Children’s Moment and Children’s Church for K-5th grades. We also have nursery care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Regular youth group meetings coincide with the school year.
Youth is for teens and preteens grades 6-12 on Wednesdays from 3:30pm-5:30pm. We also have multiple activities throughout the year including mission trips, lock-ins, and VBS. Join us for family, fun, and fellowship! To learn more or receive updates about our Family Ministries email Delilah Twombly, Director of Family Ministries, at familyministry@midlandfaith.org
