Advent United Methodist Church’s mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Advent Students embraces this mission and believes that students are not only the church of tomorrow; they are the church of today.
Advent offers students the chance to connect with each other and God through programs designed specifically for them — Sunday Night Student worship, worship music ministry, LifeGroups, missions, and retreats.
During their youth, students are on a journey from childhood to young adulthood. Our desire at Advent is to be partners on the journey with students and their parents. We strive to create opportunities to allow students to know and claim:
Our Advent Student Worship on Sunday nights provides students a place to connect in community, engage in worship, grow in faith and have fun!
LifeGroups provide students with an opportunity to develop deeper relationships, to dig into God’s word, and to grow as both individuals and as a community. Advent offers weekday Student LifeGroups from August – May.

Confirmation is a season of teaching and spiritual preparation for students who desire to take on the baptismal vows that parents or guardians made on their behalf at their baptism as a child or infant. It is not a final destination, but more of a way station—a place where the students renew their commitment to the Christian journey they have been traveling under the care of others.
During the year, Confirmands will commit to the study and exploration of the foundational truths of Christianity, and in the process, gain insight into their own faith and claim it for themselves. It culminates in a worship service where they can choose to publicly declare their own intention to live out the vows of the baptismal covenant.
